Having survived a couple of blow outs, I can tell you that every time I puncture a tubeless bike tire I replace it. The risk of a 20K Emergency Room visit out weighs the cost of a 150 dollar tire a hundred times over, (not to mention the pain). If you have steel belted tires you must remove the tire to patch it correctly anyhow. If you plug a steel belted tire from the outside you run the risk of de-laminating the belts and causing a catastrophic failure. As far as unsprung weight, what are we talking about here, a pound? The front end is too light anyhow.
