Similar to Alan, most of the time I've been able to fill it up and/or drive with nail in tire to tire shop and then have it repaired w/o taking off tire.
However, I've also used fix it flat a couple of times and figured that it would be a messy patch, maybe tire shop wouldn't repair anyway, so I figured that I would drive until it was time to get new tire. Not recommended for sure, in fact, fixitflat claims that the tire can become flammable. Anyway, it worked successfully.
