Fixing a sidewall puncture in a tyre with Sugru when I had no other option at that time.

Warning: Only attempt something like this as a temporary repair when you have no other options like tyre foam or proper puncture repair kit. You should go much slower than normal (Like less than 60km/h or 30mph) with a damaged tyre and only to the tyre depot to get it replaced.
I was driving along a road through standstill traffic and where I live kerbs are usually 45-degree sloping "ramps", so you might be tempted to mount one slightly to get past stopped cars at your filter lane. Well I was tempted and didn't see a missing piece of kerb and its sharp edge contacted my tyre at under 5km/h (3mph), I thought oops, hope I didn't just crack a new alloy wheel.
Well, good news I didn't crack an alloy but did have a slow puncture depending on where the wheel was on the road. In some positions, the air came out quick and in others it was slow.
I managed to use the pressure sensors to tell me when to stop at a petrol station every 5 or so kilometres.
I used some Sugru while the type was deflated and not under pressure to plug the hole and smooth it on the wheel around the hole. 24 hours later it had cured and sealed and I was able to go to the type depot to get the tyre they had ordered for me (sucks when your tyre is not in stock).

    I think all those other comments are bots.
