What is the best way to repair a car tire puncture?

[LeMatthew]

Methods for repairing car tire punctures are as follows: 1. Plug repair: This is the earliest and most traditional method of tire repair. The process involves inserting a rubber plug into the puncture hole of the tire. Once the air leakage stops, the repair is complete. The drawbacks are quite obvious. While the original puncture might have been caused by a small nail creating a tiny hole, to fit the plug, the hole needs to be enlarged further. This method can be quite damaging to the tire. 2. Mushroom plug repair: The mushroom plug resembles a large tack but has a long rubber strip in the middle. It is applied from the inside of the tire, with the rubber strip pushed through to the outside. The large patch is then firmly attached to the inside of the tire, and the excess part protruding outside is trimmed off. This method provides good protection for both the inner and outer surfaces of the tire. The downside is that it is the most expensive among tire repair methods, but it also offers the best results. 3. Cold patch repair: This method requires removing the tire from the rim, grinding off a layer on the inside of the tire, and then applying a new patch. This type of repair offers high stability, and the tire can be used normally without any issues.
