I run construction and I get stuff like that regularly. I pull them and plug them as long as they're not too close to the side wall. I think every tire on my X has a plug in it.

Tip-Top used to make something called a "Combi" patch, it means needing to take the tire off , but a totally reliable repair as long as not close to sidewall as pointed out, but even there it is fairly reliable if it's still in the tread.

What kind of black magic do they use over there to fix them?

I guess bolts don't hold well in pavement that you can cook your eggs on!

For that one it's the combi-patch. It has a patch with a plug spike built in and holds up fairly well, but I buy replacements asap since I rarely follow speed suggestions...

Here's what happens when the 4 tire spike sets aren't gang-locked together and only one side retracts and the sidewall is too close to the other set....

PS. My neighbors car.

The only thing that holds well is the sole of your shoe! (1 do not recommend)
