Default ran over a nail???

i ran over a nail the other day and i got my tire plugged. I was testing it so i whomped on it and made the tires spin a little to see what would happen to the plug. Nothing to my surprise but, i'm still worried about the track. It was the rear tear and i have nitto DR's. What i was wondering was can or should i take it too the track. I will be lowering the psi to about 14 or 15 and i'll be heating them up. Do you think this could be a problem.

+1 only way to do it tires if you buy quallity cost to much to replace for a nail plus myself i like tires to be the same tred left so if i change one i change two so the opposing will match(maybee im to **** but to me its only right)
