I ran a patch/plug combo on a Michelin Pilot Power 2CT for over 8k miles of commuter riding, wknd twisties, & a couple of track days at Willow Springs. The tire got a nail in the tire w/ less than 100 mi on it. The repair was done by a professional. I didn't worry about it in the slightest.
).Was very nervous about the tire first week out. Now that I have 300 miles on it and some hard riding, I forget its there.

I plugged mine but it kept leaking. I didn't bore it out cleanly enough. Guess that makes a big difference. Removed the tire and put a mushroom patch on the inside and have had 0 problems since. It's not a big deal if it's in the center of the tire. If I took one in the sidewall, forget about it!

This thread makes me feel better. Just got a new rear Pilot and I got a damn puncture... It looks like a piece of wood made the damage because wood slivers are stuck in the hole. How bad is it if I bore it and a few slivers get stuck on the inside after I patch it? I figure its no biggie but just wana make sure!
