On my way to Mexico I got a small trim molding nail in my brand new rear tire. I stopped and purchased a bottle of Slime and put it in the leaking tire. I then rode 2000 miles checking the tire every morning. The pressure remained constant. After getting home I got another nail right next to the first one. This repair I made with the "gummy worm" repair with a copius amount of glue. Both repairs lasted another 5500 miles, I just replaced the tire this spring before another trip as I was getting nervous about how much longer my repairs would last.
