Any advice on safety of pluged tires

[Chuck Pierce]

The Proper way to repair a tire is pull it off the rim and put a patch
on the inside. I was told the because the way radials move( flex)  vs
the old bias ply tires, that the plug was not the safe way to repair the
newer tires. Plugging is only for the very short term.
