By that line of thinking it's better just to replace the tire outright instead of patching or plugging it. I’ve plugged many more tires than I could remember in all kinds of applications (street, track, and off-road) and have never had a single problem. If you ask me, you’re just burning money if you insist taking your tires to a shop to have them patched when plugging is possible.
I’d be interested to hear someone describe a scenario in which a correctly done plug job failed.
