Like many here, I have (unfortunately) plugged my share of tires. By default, this is not something we often get to do at home, in the comfort of our garages. Most of the time it's a side of the road adventure. I learned to do this as a motorcyclist, back when we started seeing cast rims and tubeless tires. What a Godsend - no more tire irons and patch kits. So, as a result of learning to do this on motorcycles, it has never even occurred to me to jack up a car and take the wheel off to do it. Like others have said, I just roll the car until the puncture is where I can see it and work on it.

I have to say, the post that revived this years old thread is completely out of line. Effectively calling another man a "liar" over something as innocuous as a tire repair. He simply described how he had done it in the past and how with a plug kit it really isn't all that hard. Why something like that would set you off, Sugarwood, is beyond me. But you do owe him an apology...

Oh, and for the record, I plugged a brand new Yokohama AO48 after it picked up a nail on its first track outing. I ran eight or ten more track days on it, running it right down to the wear bars, without issue.
