definitey take the tire off and get it patched at a tire shop. never use a plug. they can fail. they will patch it for probably less than 10 bucks

its better to get it patched, but I would plug it as long as its not to close to the sidewalls. I have pluged 3 tires with no problems from it.

if youre careful and do them right, plugs are not so bad...just check it regularly. If you can take the tire off i would strongly suggest a plug patch rather then just a patch. Ive had bad experiences with patches...seems like when you run slightly lower air pressure they cant handle the flex. either way for a quick fix just plug it, if you can plug patch it. if you throw it away tell me and ill take it off your hands
