tire plugs

[Cutty72]

There was a plug patch in the back tire of my SV when I bought it (dealer repo, still sold as "new") Didn't notice at time of sale. Hell, didn't notice till about 4K later when it started leaking. Only hold air for a couple days. They sold me a new (OEM) rear at cost, N/C for M&B.

An inside installed patch leaked? Well,I guess there is always user error to take into account. but what I do know is this ungrounded fear of a catastrophic failure is ridiculous.
