Assume that wouldn’t be a permanent repair?
Always curious about why people say this.
I've only seen it done on a motorbike tyre, but the combined pressure of a tyre, and friction between tyre and plug makes me wonder what the issue is.
All I can think it that because you usually have to enlarge the hole, if the plug moves then you'll have a bigger blow out.
But again it still seems unlikely to me, so I'd love to know the rational.

Tyre should be removed and inspected.
This repair kit is only suitable for emergency tyre repairs to enable vehicles to be driven to a service center where proper permanent repairs can be made to the tyre. This kit is not intended for use for major tyre damage.
Tyre place I’ll get to look at said just screw a self taping screw in to the hole and drive it down to them!

Have had bike tyres have one in for a few thousand miles. Never an issue.
TUV approved repair. Reminds me I need to grab a kit from Norauto.

Got a link? Assume it’s a tubeless plug.

Needs a service anyway. Could use a plug to get it going then replace the whole lot at service.
