Mini tire compressor reviews

Those rope plugs have worked for me on MC tires, and car tires alike. As temp or perm solutions as well.. I had a 10k pilot road 3 with 3 plugs, zero issues on a zzr1200. If done correctly, they really work well and last.

That's the keyword if done correctly. On cars that I track or drive over 100mph I wouldn't trust a plug. The centrifugal force and the deformation of a tire under those conditions may cause a plug to pop and with a rapid lost of air pressure a blowout is a good possibility.

Most, reputable tire shops will either patch it from the inside or sell you a new tire. The liability that a shop takes on is just not worth the trouble of using a plug. Plugs kits are just sold to diyers looking for a cheap way to fix their flat, since they don't have the equipment to demount and remount a tire.

I don't think I'd trust it on track. But most normal street applications, I don't see an issue.
