I had a plug put inside a nail hole only to have air escaping. The flat tire was rolled on for about a hundred meters before it was refilled with air. Could rolling one hundred meters on a flat tire have damaged the tire or rim?
I checked out the tire again under water the plug is holding but air is coming out from the rim of my mag. does that mean the tire is finished?

Cannot say with out actually seeing the damage, best get the tire to a tire specialist, they will be able to advise on seeing the damage.
