Default FAK! I was getting in my car this morning to head to work when I realized one of my tires was flat.

UGHHHH. Put some air in it and took it to the nearest tire shop. We then discovered that I ran over a huge nail. Got it plugged hopefully it will hold. The Avus's are in the body shop getting painted, Is it safe with the plug or should I replace the 200 Dollor+ tire?

Default Probably OK, but if you drive like a lunatic, I'd replace the tire. Who knows how safe it is at

sustained high speeds... I know tire manufacturers specifically state that the speed rating goes out the window once the tire is patched or plugged...
