I've put 3 vulcanizing plugs in my rear RE050As and tracked them at 125mph at Road America afterwards. Plugs are fine. If you want to buy into the hype that you need to replace or patch, be my guest. Worst that happens with a plug is that it comes out and you have a slow deflation...and that won't happen with a vulcanizing plug.
