You can get them to patch it if you push them. I had a tire shop refuse to plug a tire because the tread was "too close to the wear indicators", not because it was actually worn out.
I raised all kinds of hell with them, and they wouldn't budge...obviously, they wanted me to buy new tires from them...
They'd already pulled the nail out, and I told them to put the nail back in so I can go to another tire shop and have it fixed. They plugged it instead.
With Z rated tires - I would simply tell them...where the hell can I go over 100mph? Patch the damn tire!
