Plug in tire how long will it last

According to many studies, 8 miles is a safe distance to drive on a plugged tire. Plugging is not a long-term fix; it just keeps the wheel moving for the time it takes to find a service center.

Is Plugging A Tire A Good Idea? Plugging or patching is only a temporary measure before you have enough time to change into a new tire. The life of a tire after plugging can last from 7-10 years or 25,000 miles; no one can be sure that there will not be any problems.

Tire Plugs and String Repairs are Temporary Repairs Emergency roadside plug repairs are NOT intended to be a permanent tire repair. Plugs and string repairs are designed to get you back up and rolling long enough to get home or to the nearest service center to perform a proper tire repair.
