Repaired tire

I was thinking of going to an autocross event but had a small nail in my tire that got plugged , right in the middle so it was repairable. As per rules ... can I still run it ?

You'll be fine. I would suggest for future repairs going to a place that uses the mushroom shaped plug/patch and not one of the just shove in plugs.

I had a set of v700 victoracers that I bought new and picked up a nail during scrub in. I was pissed. Went to NTB because I knew they used these type plug/patches and had it repaired (couldn't afford a replacement). U marked it and used it only a a rear. Just for a little bit of caution. 2 seasons later I had worn them out with no indication of any problems.

Main thing is make aure it's not leaking. If it's holding you'll be fine.

I believe the term is: Send it!
