Tire Puncture Repair Kit
The absolutely best tire plugs are the
big brown furry ones made in the USA by Safety Seal, Xtra Seal, etc.
The other advantage is you can lube then with the included vegetable based lube (looks like Vaseline)
or rubber cement and you can push two, three or more plugs into a wound that is odd shaped or much bigger than a 1/4" drill bit.
And if you use a product that is super sticky,
if you try to put more than one insertion into the hole it sticks to the existing one and pushes into the inside tire chamber.
In extreme emergencies,
you might need to repair a sidewall cut or gash.
You can stuff multiple brown insertion strings into the wound,
inflate it to 15-20 psi and drive slowly to a main road or to a safer location to change to the spare.
Trying to change a tire on a side hill is dangerous...so just plug the sidewall and find a flatter more level area to do a tire change safely.
Sidewall damage means the tire is ruined,
this is just an emergency repair to get you to a main road,
to help or to a safer location to change the tire.
