    I wouldn"t worry too much about a plug in the back wheel but i would never plug a front wheel. I used to deal in tyres for 14 years. Worked for Advance Tyre Company. :)

    Had to plug my tyre when it was just on a few weeks, still grand 4 months later.

    Think it's sound to plug tyres as long as the side wall is'nt damaged.

    Had a plug in the rear wheel on the bandit for over a year with no problem. Only after a year did it start to leak air, but only down to 15 psi so I was forced to get a new tyre.
