RAC man plugged my hole.

I had this kind of puncture repair done at National Tyres on my 200SX. So long as the puncture is not near the shoulder of the tyre, i.e. it's in the centre of the tread then it is a perfectly safe and reliable way to fix a puncture, and much more sensible than chucking a nearly new tyre.
My tyre lasted a trackday and 10k miles with the plug in it, and was still going strong when I sold the car.

Naah! They were actually eagle f1's, reknowned for going very melty on track! This wasn't on the mk1 though. Basically I got the pumcture within a few hundred miles of replacing the tyres which is why I was reluctant to replace it again. Then I did about 20 laps of Llandow before realising that they were going to flake out big style and changing over to my track wheels to save an excellent set of road tyres. So yeah 10k miles later and the plug was still givng no problems.
