I guess I'll be the odd person out and advocate plugs ... the tire repair business evolving accepted practices reminds me once again of many things that once were common and now are in fear of some fashion of a law suite. Although I'd not plug a sidewall puncture, I'd plug (have for years) a tire on truck or trailer any day of the week. Installed right, you'd be hard pressed to blow a plug out of a nail hole. A plug also keeps dirt and water from being driven up into the hole and possibly under an inside patch. Now I'm not saying patches are no good, I'm just saying plugs also get the job done.
