Had a screw in center of a 1 year old Michelin Power Pure - plugged it with a "Stop & Go Tire" kit.... one of those mushroom headed plugs.
Checked the cold pressure this evening - still holding perfectly from the repair 7 months, & a couple of thousand miles ago.

They do seem to last a while if done properly. My rear tyre has done at least 10,000km on it and probably has another 10k to go.
-
If plugged from inside probably ok way to repair tire----but after you go thru the BS to remove tire from rim on current scooters, except BMW, better just to fit new tire and be done with it.
-
Has anybody tried that balancer/sealant goop that looks like a miracle product? Any downside to it? Does it mess up the inside of the rim? The Youtube video is almost unbelievable: multiple nails, then two drill holes and it still doesn't go flat!

Changed my rear tyre on Oct first 2017 got a screw in it next day put a tyre plug in it it lasted the life of the tyre that was on a cbf 1000

Car and the used to be new Michelin on the bike caught screws early on and have sticky rope plugs. Now the car with Kumhos started a slow leak after a couple of months so I re-plugged it and it is holding well. Intend to leave it until tire replacement. Also have a rope plug in lawnmower tire.

Use Shell SuperNitro in your lawnmower and tires rarely touch the ground.
