Most places wont patch a bike tire at all.. should tell you something.

I plug tires all the time and ride them until they are done, but it's your call on this one.

Not 1 dealer in town patches tires (they refuse to). So, I just ordered me a new one from BikeBandit.com for $125.99 (Dunlop Qualifier). Though, I think it's back up to $180.
But definately go with a new tire, everyone I talked to said the risk outweights the benefit.

Whats worse 200 bucks for a new tire. Or eating pavement at 130!?!? Dude www.Motorcyclesuperstore.com they have free shipping on tire's right now. Take it to your local bike shop they mount for cheap ( plus you don't have to do the work if you dont' want)

I work at a tire shop and there is no way I would ever plug a tire. Plug pull out all the time as the tire wears. If it was directly in the middle of the tread I may patch it, but I monitor that **** like crazy. On a front tire I would never even question putting a new tire on.
