The correct way to repair a leak in a tire is to have a vulcanized patch placed on the inside of the tire. Do not let anyone put a plug in the tire to repair the leak.
I would think that Firestone on 466 would do the repair correctly.

The most common tire to get a leak is the right rear, cutting the corners to close on a right hand turn you tend to pick up something from the roadway.
