Yeah that's it.  I've used rope plugs for emergency repairs for years.
Never used a rubber mushroom plug before.  I used to have a plug gun
that appeared from somewhere, but I never used it.

So... rubber mushroom plugs vs rope plugs?

I've got a lot of rope plugs in my front tractor ties, but I still have
to air them up every time I use it.  Thinking about going to town with a
reamer in a drill (bust the handle off), and trying mushroom plugs.

It's funny that we have the same problems at the same time. My neighbor's 
riding mower got two flats, the first time I've used a rope patch kit. 
O'Reilly's had them on sale for $0.77 and the cute, knowledgeable chica at 
the counter explained how to use them, a "My Cousin Vinny" moment.
