Patch that. I would plug it myself and not think twice about running it on the street. Or spend about $50 and have it patched properly from the inside at a tire store. I have a professionally patched tire that I've run on the track twice and never had a concern.

If anything a patch, plugs suck and I would never trust it again when pushed hard. Like the other member said they are pretty well worn anyhow, replace and drive hard with confidence.

I just pulled a drywall screw out of my new rear Pilot SS and plugged it myself. I drove 60 miles to an autocross and back, and the plugged area still looks great. I've plugged many tires over the years without any issues. YMMV!
