I keep a kit in the truck. You can plug small holes in a side wall for emergency's.

I work and trap in some thorny brush country so I wont pull out of the driveway with out my 'total tire kit".
If you could only take two items I would take a plug kit and the XL can of fix-a-flat.

The one I fixed 4 days ago is still holding air and has traveled some rough roads and still doing good. I wish I would of used the kit through the years but always had them fixed.

I'm driving on a tire that I plugged about 7 months ago. I think it's the only tire that doesn't slowly leak.

I took a bumper jack in the face when I was 13. Still got the nose to prove it.

Me and my wife plugged a tire for a girl she works with the other day. The girl was working, and i was about to pick up my wife, so i brought all the stuff with me. Years ago i put two plugs in a four wheeler tire. Around 12 years later, and its still holding.

I never drove the Golden Road in northern Maine without getting a flat. The road graders pull-up shards of sharp rock....they’re like broad heads on the road.

Never used a plug by myself but here at the farm I've changed four tires on my small tractor with only two tire irons. Not too tough.

I usually plug my truck tires, along with my wife's car tires and my quad tires. But today I actually had the tire shop plug one along with rotating my tires and patching one of my hip boots that I couldn't get the aqua seal to stay. Cost me a whopping $7 and I tipped the $8 for his trouble.
