I'm bit upset mens
I woke up, walked to my car, notice of one my tires had no air, drove to the nearest air pump (2blocks away),
then took the car to a tire shop... the dudes found a 1-1/2" nail embedded, pulled it out, put a plug in.
this really sux, i have Toyo Proxies T1R, it only has 9K on it, these tires are pretty expensive $370+, how long can i roll on these with the plug in?
do I have to changes it right away?

Sorry to hear about the nail, man.
You definitely have time. I wouldn't worry about it. The specifically do plug and patch on the inside of our tires because they are so low profile.
