i read that some time ago i think on tirerack.

but all damages are different so keep that in mind. a 1/4" puncture is not the same as a 1/8" puncture, location, who fixed it, materials used, etc.

if you're worried, i suggest you buy a new tire.

im fine with both patch and plugs in my tires depending on where and how big the puncture was, dd or not. a lot of folks say plugs are crap. i dont think so. ive fixed plenty of punctures using plugs from the outside and no issue.. 2yrs ago i fixed a puncture on my dd's tire in 11F temps... no issue even today. still riding on them.
