I plug and patch tires, more than I like doing it. I had to plug 2 tires, in multiple places, one day last Fall, when someone lost a load of plywood and 2' by 4's with wire brads or staples in them on the road I was on.

I'm always amazed at the number of people who come into Baxter State Park with no plugs,air pump,tire wrench,tire jacks,or spare tires.Its crazy.
You would be shocked at how common that is even outside the park. Common sense is not common anymore. People don't have a jack , spare , lugwrench etc. Or have a flat spare. This is why AAA and other roadside service companies are growing.
I carry a toolbox w/ plugging kit. A 4 way plus the factory lugwrench.

I plug tires whenever possible. Last one was a 10 ply tire through the center of a cord. Lots of fun.
I have always taken the flats in and get them fixed. Today I went and bought one of those plug tire kit. I just used it and plugged a nail hole. Have you had any problems after just using the pull throw plug or am I good to go??

I live in Alaska and have limited cell service. I plug my own. I prefer plugging a tire to changing a tire. Quicker and the spare is full of air and waiting for me if the next hole is in the sidewall.
