Have tire patched at Porsche indy for $60 or at a regular ole tire place for less?

Anyone know if this is "patched correctly"?

Is it holding air? Probably will do you just fine on the Interstate.

In these parts, the closest and best tire place is Discount Tire. Nice guys do good work. They especially are nice if you are a regular customer (they can tell from your computer file.) Makes me feel a little guilty that I bought a set of Riken tires from Tire Wreck. But they were cheap, made by a subsidiary of Michelin, and get great reviews. Their cheaper than motorcycle tires.

Yep holds air fine - and we don't drive it super hard. I just didn't know if it was the "right" way with the plug sticking out, and the base glued, etc.

Appears to be, as long as it doesn't leak air it should be fine, just monitor the psi
