Plugs Aren't Just For Hair: You Can Repair Tires

Finding the Offending Object

Spin the tire until you find the evil little metal bit that made a certain hour of your life really unpleasant. If you're lucky, it will be a big, easy to remove nail or screw like this one. Don't pull it out just yet, though, because we want to be prepared for the next steps without making our lives any harder.

If you aren't so lucky and can't see the object that pierced your tire, you'll have to find the leak by other methods.
