All these tall tales of heroic roadside tire plugs don't even make any sense.

I just plugged my tire after a few weeks of a slow air leak from a nail. Once I noticed the nail, I then installed a plug, in my garage. In my case, a nail was a slow leak that took several days to even notice.

Who exactly is plugging tires on the side of the highway (in 60 seconds no less) ?

Did your tire go flat? If so, why didn't you just install the spare tire? Or no spare, yet you carry a tire inflator, pliers, and a plug kit?

Or was the tire just low? If so, why not just inflate it and drive home? A nail is a slow leak that does not need to be fixed at the side of a highway.
