As a rule of thumb, the speed rating is reduced. So, a V-Rated tyre becomes an H-Rated tyre. There is only a certain area of the tyre that can be repaired too.
We have lost 2 tyres on our 1.4 Clio this year (only fitted in December), had screws in them and I replaced both. Wasn't keen on the idea of repairing, even on a 1.4 Clio!!

lol, thats like saying as a rule of thumb once the tyre has been repaired you can only brake at 70% of what you normally would. Im sure braking from high speeds puts far more strain/pressure on any tyre than accelerating to the high speed does. Like has been said how is joe suppose to know that the v rated tyre on his new car has been repaired? Im sure it will become obvious that his wheel nuts were loose!

They are allowed to and do repair REMOULDED jumbo jet aircraft tyres, must be because it is unsafe ?
Tyres sealed with ULTRASEAL, having had nails screws etc removed, have been used extensively in testing and evaluation over 100mph, track days, the lot.
I have only ever had two tyre problems and they were GOODYEAR EAGLE F1 GSD3 both times, developing sidewall bulges.

Guys...
You should know what goes on in the factory when they make the tyres, to rectify build faults
you wouldn't be worrying about a decent plug repair..
