Okay... So I've managed to get a nail, well two actually in my back tire. So I'm asking, can the stock tires be *plugged* like car tires, or should I just replace the tire? 10,500 km on the tires as it stands now

I think it's kinda iffy with mc tires, depending where the punctures are. I would play it safe and get a new tire.

well, one of them is almost dead center, and the other one is off to the side a little bit, but it's on a really strange angle for a nail.. managed to get in sideways into the tread, I'll get a picture when I get home, but yeah I probably will just go get a new tire, I wonder if they have any 150's in stock :D
