Loosen the lug nuts on the wheel with the flat tire. Lift up the end of the car with the punctured radial tire with a jack. Remove the lug nuts with a lug wrench.
Pull off the radial tire. Locate the obstruction causing the puncture and pull it out with the pliers. Open the tire repair kit. Put two to three drops of the rubber cement on the insertion probe and put it into the puncture. Work it back and forth to clean the hole and apply the rubber cement around it. This results in a greater loss of air while also increasing your chances of a blowout on a road. Furthermore, the plug itself may fail while you are driving, putting you back where you started.
In the event of a flat tire from a nail or screw, the best course of action is always to replace the tire. While it may be tempting to see how far you can get with a five-dollar repair, the consequences of a plugged tire failing will be much worse than if you had replaced the tire in the first place.

A patch is a piece of rubber with an adhesive back that is stuck onto the inside of the tire. When choosing to plug or patch a tire, it often depends on the size of the hole and the location. Plugs are typically used after treading on a nail, screw or small puncture. Plugs are used on small holes away from the sidewall. Tires are typically patched when the puncture is less than a quarter-inch in diameter, but it also depends on the location.
Like with plugs, patches are said to last from seven to ten years or for the rest of the life of the tire. Again, this tire may not last if the installation goes poorly or there are issues with the location of the hole.
