If it's just a small hole I'd pull it off break it down put a patch inside and run it till it's worn out!

Hey thanks everyone, that puts my mind at ease I'm glad to hear that. I When I say air down, I meant down to 18 psi from 33-35 psi on the street, I would think running at 17-18 psi all the time would wear the tires out faster

Little over a week ago,I ran over something at the track and put a hole in one of my slicks. It was pretty close to the sidewall and I don't think I would trust a patch or a plug going thru the traps at 127.00 mph..Ended up putting tubes in for my own peace of mind...
if you can go with a tube thats the best way
