The best repair is a new tire, then a plug patch, lastly rope style. The others are next to useless with the screw option being useless. Again do yourself a favor and just replace the tire
Or simply remove the nail make sure all the air in the tyre is out push superglue in the puncture site push some glue in and pull out the glue give 5 minutes to cure and ride away. Tried and tested a hundred times
These repair kits do work quite well. I have fixed a light truck tire and two motorcycle tires with success. But, after doing some research, I now use rope plugs for my tires.
Mushroom plug much better in a sense that you don't need much heavy force to insert it specially when the flat tire is in the rear and you have to jack and wrench to remove the tire from the car.
I have done a lot of remote driving in outback Australia and have needed tyre repairs on a number of occasions and the sticky rope plugs have helped me out on a number of occasions. The most memorable was following GPS coordinates in the Great Victorian Desert when i got 2 side wall tears in the same tyre on my camper. One hole i successfully plugged with EIGHT strings and the next needed TEN strings. I then drove 600km south to Cocklebiddy (on very rough terrain and tracks) before driving another 600km to Pt Augusta where i got the tyre replaced. I never go bush without a lot of these strings

The mushroom plug requires a much larger hole be reamed out in the tire which could end up making it unrepeatable with a permanent patch at a tire shop. The mushroom plug takes 1/3 the pressure to be pushed all the way through resulting in another failure.
I've only used the cheap brown strips, and the held up fine for the remaining lifespan of the tyre. Also at high speeds (250kph) on the autobahn. No problem👍
Got a screw in my tire, slow leak. Tire store won't repair as it's in last row of tread nearest the sidewall. Tiny frickin' hole and they say I should throw it away and buy a new one! This tire IS new. Only a couple thou miles on it! So, I tried a Slime plug kit, leaked worse then the screw I took out! Waited a week to get these tire screws, since nobody sells them, and it is sealed! Haven't put it back on the car yet ,but it appears to be good, and people are saying in various places they last. So hope it does.
I bought a Slime plug kit for $14 at Auto Zone, and tried twice, it leaked both times. Not around the repair but through the rope itself! Pure crap! I read "Safety Seal" brand, made in USA is best, and I've ordered some of those off Ebay. In the meantime I recieved 50 tire repair screws from Amazon for $6.00. Pulled out the plug and screwed one in, and viola it's sealed! Haven't driven on it yet. I think I'm going to take it out and put a little Xrtra seal vulcanizing rubber cement on it just to be sure. And I ordered a solar powered tire monitoring system off Amazon for ~$20 bucks. We'll see how that goes!
Excelente video y muchas gracias por compartir. Considero que este tipo de reparación es útil para una reparación rápida, sobretodo en una situación en la que no tenemos suficiente tiempo y oportunidad para llevar la llanta a un taller especializado. Con este tipo de reparación se corre el riesgo de que se filtre el aire entre el forro interno (capa impermeable) y la carcaza de la llanta ocasionando filtración de aire y separación de las capas que conforman la llanta. Siempre que hago este tipo de reparación y tan pronto tenga la oportunidad de llevar la llanta a un taller especializado le hago colocar un parche interno para proteger el forro interior.
