Proper tire repair patch?

Does this look like a proper tire repair job? I've never seen anything like it and am wondering WTF at the moment

thats a road plug......ment for emergency porposes only. i would never risk driving on a road plug for more then a few km. especially a performance tire(if i am correct that tire is a TOYO T1R)!!!! that tire is virtually trash now as with a performance tire by law you are only supposed to fix a tire with a patch and even then its pushing the limits of the tire. i have been in the tire game for countless years and i have only done this to one of my tires only to get me home(edmonton to red deer) and then i trashed the tire and got a new pair. whomb ever did this should be buying you a new tire(obliously the tire is quite worn so unless your going to keep the tire around for an emergency i would go back to the shop that did that and demand something in return for ruining your tire) :thumbsup:

used to be standard practice for every shop to plug tires like that. now they are suppose to be patched from the inside. and yeah, that tire is done anyways...

I forgot to mention that this hole had been repaired 2yrs ago with a patch and it started to leak 2days ago (I dn't know if that's why it was done this way or not)

They're my z06 tires - assuming I don't do 150kph+ on them, are they safe to drive on? I know they're almost bald, but I'm convinced I can get another 2-3000kms on them if the patch isn't an issue.........

street driving is fine. just don't track them
