Yes, I have. It was on my truck. It used an internal tire patch. It's a much different application with much higher PSI than you'll see on a street car. Basically, on a truck tire, if you get a nail then the tire is done. Those tires are like 10-ply and a single ply (patch) will not hold air for long. Since heat equals pressure, and heat also softens the patch glue, I would not use a patched tire under high heat conditions either.
