97 Standard, 135,000 miles.   I just put on my third car tire on the rear with dyna beads again.  With about 600 miles on the new tire, I had a nail right in the center of the tire.  I plugged it with the leather/rawhide strip that is real tacky just trying to get it on the tool to put it in the tire.  I was wondering how many of those little beads adhered to that plug inside the tire. I've got a couple hundred miles on the tire since and haven't noticed any difference or vibration.  My question for my peace of mind is has anybody run the tire out with a plug in it, and how many of the beads were "stuck" on the plug after you took off the old tire.  If I begin to notice vibration, I will change the tire, but thought I would ask the above question.
Not to start a controversy, but I've used Bel-Ray grease the last two times, and the Wal-Mart boat and trailer grease (waterproof) lasted quite a bit better than the Bel-Ray.

I have not noticed any problem with plugs in a Dyna Bead tire. I'm sure some beads will adhere to the sticky plug, plus the plug has mass of it's own, however small, but the rest of the beads will just redistribute to balance the tire as always. I wouldn't worry at all about post plug balance, just that the plug holds.

I have a plug and Dynabeads in my darkside front tire.  No problems yet.
