Based off what? Links or pics of people whom have actually had problems with a patched or plugged tire?

I was kidding Chrissy!!! I've fought this fight 20 times at least. I've been patching tires since I was a kid without ever have an issue. Hell, I once got a tire slashed and put 4 plugs in the sidewall and did parade laps and burnouts all weekend until the tire place opened on Mon and I could get it replaced. I burned the tire in the parking lot until it blew apart and the plugs still stayed in place! True story! I have never personally heard or seen a catastrophic failure from a plug, patch or plug-patch. Even so I'm slightly leary of just plugs and will use them as a temporary measure until I can patch it or plug-patch it. If you saw the numbers on a plug patch and what they can withstand, force/temp wise, I think that everyone would agree that any fear is unwarranted.
