This depends. It is in the center of the tread so that is good. How large was the penetration? Was it large or "just the tip"? Did you drive many miles w/ low tire message or did you take care of this right away. If you put some miles on the tire w/ low pressure, were you on the highway or in town?

These are all factors. I have plugged and patched(I do both at the same time) dozen's of tires with no issues or concerns. If you were driving on the autobahn then I would consider replacing.

The reason why most shops will not patch a runflat is because running on very low or empty tire will destroy the "runflat" capability. Most drivers have no clue and the shop will not take the risk. My shop repairs my runflats because they know I pay attention to my air pressures. He I have 5 sets of rims and tires for my 2 cars(summer x2, winter x2, track set) and they know I pay attention. Q

You will not have any issues if the puncture was addressed in a timely manner and you did not abuse the tire during the process.
