id choose patch as im assumin itd be more reliable..

anyone know which is better and why....

 

i like plugs, that goop is good stuff

 

the shop i usually go to has plugged most of my tires. however when i went to "high" performance they rather patch it. i think its more for cosmetic purposes.

 

plugs can split the belts later down the road, patchs are always better



plugs are just alot easier, not every shop can patch.

 

patches are 100x better.

A) Most plugs continue to leak around the plug when theyre in the tire, they dont seal up very well

B) That "slime" "fix-a-flat" etc, most times wont work, if it does work its only on relatively tiny, slow leaking holes.



patches, if done properly, wont leak out any air ever and help maintain the integrity of the tire.



Goodyear actually specifically states to not use plugs on their tires, only patches.
