Question To plug or not to plug???

So lets put the jury out on plugging a rear tire.

Some people say it will be fine and some say it's just stupid and I will die.

So what's the deal. Has anyone plugged a rear tire and had a failure that cause them to crash?

Help a brotha out!!

I rode with a plug last year. No problem but if you do not want to plug the tire then give it to me.

I plugged my tire last year and it is fine. I also smoked the **** out of it and it never blew.

Unhappy Hey Guy?

Guy get the damn plug! You know how I ride and I had a plug put in the very next day I bought the tire! I hit a piece of glass or something and there is nothing worse than paying over $200 for a tire thats flat the same day! So I plugged it and thankgod it was inside the groove of the tread. I think it might make a difference if it was on the outter side of the tire tread. Gte the damn thing plugged guy and lets rip it up!
