this is safe-even the outside plug is safe, the plug patch deal is just a perm fix compared to the plug being not touted as perm.

and if u screw it up, oh wow, i have a slow leak. -its not like the tire will spontaneously combust lol

Hahaha! Damn, I type too slow!

I'm not worried about blow out, I'm worried about consistent grip. You guys do whatever you want I wont try to convince you one way or the other.

Again, I've have pebble lodged on my tires bigger than the end that will protrude from my tire. And, its almost in the center.

Prema is the company that makes this one. I just bought it off of the service guys at the shop.

Same principle, just with a normal patch.. I should be good.

Those are the ones.

I prepped with sandpaper, so it took me about 30 minutes. If I'd have had a die grinder, would have taken 5..

Let the glue set, pulled it through, it sealed instantly, I rolled any air out and then cut off the excess.

Oh, I reamed the hole out first so the plug would fit easier and deform the area around it less.

It will last as long as the tire. No problem.
