You've seen a tire fail after using a proper inner patch/plug? Or are you talking about those from the outside tire plug kits that clearly state that they are for "temporary/emergency use only"? I have never even heard of a patch failing on a semi-truck tire much less a motorcycle tire. Plus the worst case scenario is that the tire goes flat again not that it explodes or something.
