Both my rears have had a nail stuck in them....lots if construction around TO. The punctures were in the middle of the tread away from the side wall.

They were patched from the inside by a shop that sees a lot of race and track cars. It was non issue for them. They told me that month they had pulled enough nails to build a barn.

Since then I have run the car on a circuit that is tight and very hard on tires... They were melting! I have run them at a high speed track as well with no problems. I know of other that have plugged track tires as well.

There are guys on here that are dead against it for the track

A Porsche dealer will not plug tires

I would look for a competent race prep shop and have them take a look

Hopeful this helps
