Screw in back tyre - repair or not?
#7
I had a puncture in my rear tyre (PR3 as well) earlier this week too!

I patched it up myself with one of those aforementioned kits and then took it to the garage who did a proper tyre off repair from the inside. These tyres aren't cheap and if it's still got life in them, keep running them. I think it's highly unlikely that a failure of the plug would lead to a blow out or anything disastrous. Of course, each puncture is different and you should ensure that the sidewall was not damaged by being flat/ridden on for too long, but otherwise why not - I know people who've ridden many miles on repaired tyres and even some that who've done trackdays on them.
