Personally I've always felt as th onlything that's keeping me on the road is the tyres and that yoou're absolutely dependent on them that if you have any doubt at all - change 'em. I'd rather spend money than blood!

I have one under my seat and got it from hein gerick, I was in JS (the onld HG) and they were selling them still I dont know how good it is cause Ive never had to use it ----------- not that I havent had punctures its just that they could not of been repaired. I do have a question I have had mine now for about 6 years I wonder if the canasters will still work, I think it also comes with some rubber glue for the plug, best check if that is ok [/quote] I was just thinking the same thing as I read this thread, mine is over 12 years old now and never been used, saying that I am probably tempting fate.

Had several tyres plugged. If the plug is in the tread then fine - never in a sidewall.
Mind you, I wouldn't assume a plugged tyre still has it's Z17 rating, so stick to sensible speeds.

I went out on my plugged tyre yesterday and during the whole ride I was not comfortable, tyre has not lost any pressure since I plugged it . It is in me head now. Went to my local dealers this this morning asked them to see if they could get me another Angel ST and if so how much. €169.00 and that includes fitting £120.00. So tgomorrow near rubber being fitted. I will keep the old one as a spare. I will also take a photo of how the plug looks inside the old tyre, just curious as to how it looks.
I am sure the old tyre would have been fine to run a good bit longer as there is a good couple thousand kms wear left in it. But as said it was getting to me and for £120.00 piece of mind.

BSAU159f states that no repairs are allowed in the sidewalls (these flex continuously and a repair is likely to fail), and the standard says repairs are not allowed on high speed Z-rated tyres.
that's why you have to keep your speed under 150mph because Z rated tyres are for speeds over 150mph  |
