So, did it leak?
I would plug it if it did. Done so several times with m/c tires and ridden them they wore out. YMMV

Take the tire off the rim and put a patch in the inside

Thats what I would do. I had a plugged mc tire once and put thousands of miles on it with no problem.

Just patch it from the inside.
Safest way to save the tire.

No leak at all. And considering the number of plys in these things, it doesn't look like it could have gotten even close to the inside.

It didn't even go through and you guys are advising to throw the tire away??
Or
Patch it from the inside. What exactly are you going to patch? It didn't go through. Are you going to guess the location to put the patch?

I've run thousands of miles on plugged tires and never gave it a second thought.
15 hours or more straight through and a plugged tire never enters my mind.

Some people are overly cautious with tires.
