can i drive long distance with a plugged tire

While it's possible to do so, it's generally not recommended. A plugged tire should only be considered a temporary solution, especially at high speeds or over long distances. This is because the plug is not intended to work optimally under the harsh conditions of a long trip.

There's a risk the plug might fail which could lead to a sudden blowout. This could be especially dangerous at high speeds. Additionally, prolonged use could further damage the tire leading to a more expensive replacement.

If you must drive on the plugged tire temporarily, it's advisable to monitor the tire pressure frequently and avoid strong impact or high-speed driving. However, the safest option is to replace it as soon as it's feasible. Preventive care is usually more cost-effective in the long run.
