   Depends on the size hole... but I've been using small rivets and screws   
   to plug holes in my mower tires. Most of the time those "rope patches"   
   are much, much too big for the hole and I don't want to enlarge the hole   
   to fit the patch🙄   
      
   One small "rivet" plug has been doing the job for ~15 years now. Just   
   pushed it in, no prep or glue. Happened to be a brass rivet, maybe 1/2   
   inch long and 1/8 inch in diameter. Most of my holes are made by thorn   
   trees...
