That's a significant flex point. Unless you have runflats or install a tube I suspect that the plug repair will not hold up.

I also have the same set of tires. I can't imagine driving a three legged car, especially on a long trip. Your mind will plague you wondering it it was the right thing to do.

In my opinion NOT! Go to Tirerack.com and ask their opinion.

Good Luck
