you you wrote:As GN2 has alluded to. There are two types of plug. The temporary get you home ones and the permanent ones.
Both are entirely suitable for their intended uses, and it's your choice to use them or not.
Neither will stop the sky falling.

The only time i would would use it would be as a get-me-home solution if i was stranded somewhere with a blatant hole in my car tyre.
I would not use it on a bike for safety reasons.
A slow puncture is not a good reason to try a plug kit out as it is cheap enough to buy a tyre and fit it yourself with minimal tools. Even if you can't DIY you could buy a used tyre and get that mounted somewhere which is still infinity preferable to plugging.
unfortunately, the dealership doesn't patch tires, because it goes against manufacturer guidelines due to liability risks.
and i don't know how to remove and reinstall a tire myself, especially the rear one. otherwise, i would do it myself.
therefore, i have to resort to a temporary plug in the meantime.
i may or may not have the tires replaced, or just scrap the entire bike.
