It's an option if you have quite a bit of tread left and want to finish off the RFT while doing research on your next set.

I attached a picture below of what mine looked like. My tires had <1k miles on them when it happened, and the RFT are excessively expensive, so i had it repaired and drove about 8k miles before replacing all 4.

I have a thread here about replacing with PS4S. https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...5#post25578475
Thank you for the input, you really saved me a ton today! I found an indy tire shop near by who fixed it for $30!

Nice, just keep an eye on it and you should be good. I never had any issues with my plug/patch.
