Oh brother, we're breaking some Kalifornia law!

Just ordered the Dynaplug Pro Extreme and must say I'm already feeling quite good about some upcoming long long rides in the whip.

Plug is not really permanent. You should take it to a tire shop eventually so they can put a proper patch from the inside. But you can drive for weeks without any issues. The risk with the tire plug is that the tire will not manage high speeds. It can - but I wouldn't run this car at 250 km/h with only a plug.

Also - in many countries it's illegal to even plug a high speed rated tire.

Tire plugs offer so many advantages over goo:
-You can drive the car "semi permanent" after the fix. For weeks without loosing any pressure
-Takes less than 10 minutes to plug a tire
-No cleaning of the tire/rim needed afterwards

Yes, you should use a lawyer. (Full disclosure, I am one, but not a traffic court lawyer -- even I use a lawyer - a different one - for traffic issues). The real reason you want a lawyer is because they know the system *and the cops, prosecutors and judges* better than you ever could (unless you also happen to practice there). So you want a local. You ALWAYS want a very local lawyer to the court you're appearing in. That may seem obvious, but it's not to some people. SMH.

We all have our stories... mine involves a group of us in Ferraris on the Garden State Parkway. The lawyer saved me from possible time. (It's a hilarious story BTW... too long to type ��)

As previously posted I bought and have already received my Dynaplug Kit which now gives me a bit more peace of mind being that our cars do not have spares.

I would also like to suggest that you buy one if these:

I bought 4 of these multi-tools. One for each of our three cars and one that I permanently put in my check-in suitcase for when I travel. Surprisingly and despite their low price, the quality and construction is exceedingly good!

There's a point in the manual where Porsche says to not use any other tire sealant other than the Porsche goo. Not sure why they would recommend that. Seems one is as good as another.

Any ideas?

Four years to the month after buying my Smitty plug kit I put it to use today. Red triangle warning came on while driving at 70 MPH indicating my right rear tire had lost 11psi from the 43 psi normal pressure. I was close to my destination and monitored the live pressure which was holding at 32 psi. After parking, I found I had picked up a nail in one of the tread grooves. Pulled out my portable inflator and it wouldn’t pump higher than the 32 psi. Only about six miles from home so I took the back roads keeping it under 40 mph while watching the pressure slowly drop to 24 by the time I arrived back in my garage. I removed the wheel, deflated the tire and went to work on putting in the repair plug. Took about 10 minutes then re-inflated to 43 psi. Wheel back on car and will check pressure in the morning to see if it held. Was close to needing a new set of rears anyway, so logged on to Costco.com to order the tires which should be in by the end of next week.

"In California a plug is not legal, but I figure it's a good temporary fix."

A tire plug is legal in California, refer to Cal. Business and Professions Code 9889.30 which applies to "automotive repair dealer" and the repair or sale of an "unsafe used tire" that is worn or damaged beyond the criteria specified.
