I had picked up a nail in the center with just less than 1k on the tire. I was running OEM spoke wheels at the time, so I had a local indy patch the tire and put in a new tube. Put about 10k on the tire after that. Low mileage, I'll repair it. If it's nearing the end of its' life then replace. End of the day...it's all about how comfortable you feel riding on a plugged or patched tire.
