So the tyre has about 50% life left....say 4000 miles of wondering and uncertainties to save £50 worth of trye or replace for about £100 and enjoy with no nagging doubts.
One thing not to skimp on is tyres on a bike....lost skin hurts!
Interesting to see what others think about the subject and I guess each makes their own choice.
For me it was always there in my mind that the tire could go at any time, so for peace of mind while riding it has now been replaced. I was more concerned about damage to the structure of the tire than the plug coming out. I was impressed that the "Stop & Go" plug got me going again and did it's job for 900 miles to get me home, but not very happy in having to make a small screw hole bigger to fit the plug.
I'll never know if it would have lasted the life of the tire but I can now enjoy riding with a clear mind again.

With out going back through the thread I assume you have opted for a new tyre? what will you do if you get another puncture? replace it again ?
