Tire Puncture

One of my stock primacy tires got a puncture last summer and I got a "plug patch" to plug it up and holding up fine until now. It's slowly releasing air apparently as I was running winter tires and put the primacy summers back on 3 weeks ago. I put in proper air to correct PSI, now 3 weeks later, it's dropped like 10 PSI. It was odd since the tire looked kinda funny when I pressed the tire with my finger and it felt a bit soft.

Took off the tire and filled up a bottle of soap and water and sprayed it over the tire to see if there's any area that is causing bubbling. The plug was fizzing and bubbling.

Should I go get it re-patched or just get another tire? Is it me or are these primacy tires piece of junk, I've gotten 2 punctures in 9 months. Maybe it's just me with bad luck getting caught with sharp objects.

Probably can dismount and apply a proper inner patch. Plugs really are a temporary road fix is all.

But ya stock tires pretty much always suck for most part.
