Had the rear tyre repaired by a back street outfit using the stringy/sticky plug type method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGRw6AfcONQ

Now having doubts about the safety/integrity of the tyre/repair when driving at speed (motorway).

Opinion on here seems to be split with no recent posts hence the question.

Should I get it re-done using an internal patch and plug method (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QR1vag1N9Q&t=609s) from a known tyre place or replace the tyre completely?

I'd also get it redone. Looks a good temporary repair but not a patch on a tyre off repair smile
