got a nail in my azenis...
anyone had theirs plugged/patched and if so how long did they last? the guys told me with z-rated tires they don't usually last too long, about 6 months i was told. i only use them for autocross so hopefully it holds up. were these guys bsing me or what, atleast i wasn't charged for it...

I ran a few (5-6) autocross events with a patched Hoosier. Never gave me a bit of trouble. I wouldn't worry about it, just keep an extra eye on the PSI in that tire.

I did a open track event (actually a few) on my plugged Azenis. No problems. YMMV

does the tire hold pressure? I got a small nail in mine, still holds pressure. I have done several track days on it and it has been fine, didnt even patch it! I did leave it on the back though.

I had that same hole pattern on one of my month old S03's. I had it patched and haven't had any problems. It has been a couple months now since the patch.

I patched/plugged mine and had no troubles. As long as it's not near the sidewall you should more than fine for daily driving or Solo II.
