This issue has gone round and round. I have plugged tires that never

had different results suggesting a different outcome but I only know
what I have experienced......
How about plugging it and watching it to see if it needs more air for
instance?
YMMV, ;-)

I know that for years now, if I take a tire for repair to any of the
reputable tire shops, they always pull the tire from the rim and put a
patch on the inside.
I think the only places that would put in a plug are general maintenance
shops that are not really in the tire business.
I had a plug blow out once many years ago and have not trusted them since.
I think on that occasion the hole was likely too big and the repair
person used poor judgment in fixing it for me.
However, in his defense, I would say that tire fixers are usually at the
low end of the skill levels in shops.
