Tyre place will take the tyre off the rim and fix it from the inside properly - probably will cost you a tenner or so

That should hold fine, how old are the strings?
Google part worn tyres and they should be able to do a repair.
Oh the guy is hedging his bets in case you fucked the tyre.
Have you got access to some slime? That stuff is brilliant. Used on motorbike tyres when I didn't have a kit on me.

The puncture in my tyre is bang in the middle of.... ummm the tyre(?) Basically not the wall in the tread part.
I have one of these plug tyre repair kits that I've put in. I haven't had a chance to fully inflate it and do a pressure test but from first look it seems OK (will obvs do this once bedtime is wrapped up).
What are peoples thoughts? And what would you do?
A. Drive?
B. Add sealer?
C. Take it to a shop and ask them to repair?
D. Replace?
Has anyone got one of those mobile people come to them, and are they just going to do the same thing?
I'm struggling to see where the risk comes from - maybe the casing is weaker from making the hole big enough to take the plug?
If it holds I'm happier using it to do tomorrows runs to nursery and camp.
