In any case, as ChrisSlicks said, the preferred method is to plug the hole from the inside and apply a patch.

some tire shops do the outside in method where they plug the tire without taking it off the wheel, this is actually illegal in several states.

Yea, from the outside is how they plugged the hole in my DD's tire I mentioned earlier. The plug didn't last. I'm guessing that's how the OP's hole was fixed as well.

Yep, that's how it was plugged. I'll keep a close eye on it.
