Angry tire plug

this is so annoying but i have not gotten 2 flats from nails in the same tire! so i got it plugged the first time and now its flat again (not anywhere near the first plug). So i got it plugged again so now i have 2 plugs in my right rear tire. Is it safe to have 2 plugs in the tire. i got it done because i really needed to drive somewhere for a meeting but is it safe to keep this tire the way it is?

its a bridgestone potenza s03 (245/45/18)...thanks

Its fine. You can get them patched from inside later it will cost about $20.
When my neighborhood was being built I think I caught a nail like once a week I probably plugged the same tire 5-6 time without any problems. Needless to say I'm now very good at plugging tires, I can do it in like 1 minute.

Plugs can come out...patches you are fine since they are done from the inside and have 35psi of air holding them in place.
