It happens to us all at times where we pick up a nail or something in a tyre and it ends up with a plug in it when you have it repaired. How far would you ride it before replacing the tyre. I know some mates of mine who don't trust plugs and would replace the tyre immediately and others with less money will take the chance and ride it to canvas but just at slower speeds (prompting me to remind them, motorbikes are supposed to be ridden FAST) Im in the middle ground myself as Im not flush with money and cant bear to waste a tyre ,but Im nervous going too fast on a repaired tyre. How do you blokes see it?

I did a track day at Mallory Park on a 1991 GSXR750M(back in the day) with two plugs in the rear tyre, I'm not a gentle rider, I don't take it steady and never had any issues
