why do you need a new tire if you can just repair this one?

i've been reading old threads about plugging tires, and the answer seem to be just to get a new tire. this one is like new though... it still has those spike things that come one new tires. w/e. better safe than sorry. the tire is already off the bike... any ideas of what i should do with it?

you can send it to me, i'll pay the shipping cost and with help of good ukrainian masters put it to good use we don't plug the tires there. it can be done with special patch plates, don't know how you do that in usa...
