Following Hurricane Irma, nails in tires were a common complaint. I managed to pick up two in new tires. Repair shops were backed up, so I went to Dollar Tree and bought a repair kit. ($1). It took a lot of muscle to drive those two "fixers" through the steel belts, but I fixed both tires. (They're still fixed!)
Amazing that those "plug" repairs can be done with the tire on the car--the tires don't lose much pressure--and could be driven to an air-pump station.
