The best solution to fix a puncture on the tread is the tried and true tire plug. You can pick up a kit at any auto store or harbor freight for less than $10 and that'd probably last most people close to a lifetime (assuming they don't lose it first).
Tire plugs require a little more work since you're removing the tire off the car, but it's really easy, faster than waiting for roadside assistance, and is a solid permanent fix to the issue. Just have to be willing to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty.
In my personal cars that have a tire repair kit, vehicles with no spare tire as standard, I throw in a cheap standard size plier, schrader value tool, and tire plug kit that has included the plugs, reamer, and rubber cement. I only use the tire repair kit for the air pump function, never the sealant. Cheap $20 investment where I know I won't be stuck on the side of the road with my family unless I have a major blowout.
Facts about this:
1. It only stops very small punctures and pinholes. If you get a nail puncture this works best if the nail went through the thickest part of your tread and not between the tread blocks. It usually works for small screw holes too, but sometimes those cause a hole that is too wide for this to plug, so leaving a screw in the tire and cutting it off flush with the tire sometimes works better than trying to remove the screw since the resulting hole will be too large for the small suspended particles in this tire sealant to plug it.
2. Slime works because it has small black particles of ground up rubber suspended in the green glue solution and those particles must be bigger than the size of the puncture hole's diameter for it to stop a leak otherwise they just all flow through it and your tire will still go flat. If a small nail is removed, the tire will only have what looks like a pinhole puncture which this works well at plugging temporarily until you can get the tire properly patched. You can only patch the center portion of tire tread area and not the outermost 1" of tread closest to the sidewall, so if you get a nail in your tread but it is closer than 1" to the sidewall then no tire shop will patch it due to legal reasons. Yes you can still apply a patch in that area yourself, but that is not recommended as it may fail because that area near the sidewall flexes a lot more than the center tread area which will result in the patch failing due to excessive flexing.
3. Slime is not a permanent answer to plugging any leak, so if you get a puncture make sure to get it permanently patched otherwise it will start leaking again when the particles dislodge under normal driving conditions since the tire is flexing with every rotation, or the Slime eventually hardens after a year or two.
4. When you do get a puncture some of the liquid part of the Slime will leak out as the suspended rubber partlces fill up the puncture area to try to stop the leak, and that Slime which leaked out will get flung off the tire and all over your car.
5. This does not damage your tire, but it does harden inside over the span of roughly 1-2 years meaning you must add more once per year to make sure it is still liquid enough to spread itself over the tire and plug any leaks. If you don't add more each year, or clean out the old Slime and reapply it each year, it will harden making it ineffective at stopping leaks, and can also make your tire slightly off balance if it hardened while it was pooled at one end of the tire if your car was sitting for a couple days when it was semi-solidified and not liquid enough to evenly redistribute itself around the whole tire when you start driving it again.
6. It is messy to clean it out of the inside of a tire if you have to properly patch your tire, and tire shops hate doing that but most will still do it for you, sometimes with an extra fee. Occasionally tire shops will refuse to patch your tire if there is Slime or Fix-A-Flat in it so inform them first before they spend their time and your money to remove the tire from the rim only to discover that they won't work on your tire because there is Slime inside.
7. Slime is more for non-critical usage for quads and wagon tires, or tubed tires such as bicycles and scooters, than for for cars because you want something that is 100% reliable to plug a wide variety of hole sizes for your car and this liquid Slime can't do that.
8. An external plug kit (many brands are $10-$20 on Amazon, or get the Slime external plug kit at Walmart) is what I prefer to use rather than this liquid Slime for my cars because the external plug system works for a much larger range of puncture hole sizes and it isn't messy. I can plug a hole in about 3 minutes by myself, then drive to a tire shop to get a permanent patch installed on my next day off of work. Watch the YT video called "How to Fix a Flat Tire EASY (Everything you need to know) " to see how easy it is to plug your tire. I used Slime for over 15yrs and never knew about the external plug option or how easy it was, but I found those plugs and switched from liquid Slime to external plugs for all my vehicles and have used the plugs 3 times so far with 100% success rate (1 medium nail, 1 medium screw, 1 large screw), vs liquid Slime which only worked for about 2/3 of the punctures I've had since 1/3 of the punctures were from screws which caused holes that were too large for Slime to block, causing me to have a pool of Slime all over the ground and flung all over my car after all 16ozs of it came out of the screw holes of my car's tires. (There is also a mushroom plug kit but they seem to only work on a certain size hole, and they seem more difficult and less reliable to install them than these standard rope plugs which is why I'm still using standard rope plugs and not mushroom plugs)

Do you just pour this thru the hole then reinflate?
What if the hole is too small ?
If someone has a hole big enough to pour it in, this'll do squat. This goes in through the valve after you remove the core, as seen in the pictures accompanying the original post.
Used this on my electric skateboard tires and it did absolutely nothing when they popped except making a huge mess. Reviews are all over the place with some swearing by it and some having the same experience I did

If you squirt this stuff in and then need to replace the tire afterwards, it's a real mess. I like everyone's ideas for bike tires and mower tires though.

I use Flatout on my AT board pneumatics and it's definitely helped. I had a stubborn tube that wouldn't take using bike patches (just couldn't get it to seal well) and adding a bit of slime got it back up to full pressure. Of course by that point spare tubes had arrived from AE but I was committed once I'd spent two days cementing and drying the patches...

Use Stan's or orange seal. Everyone uses that on their mtb

I've heard that a lot about Fix-a-Flat over the years, but I haven't heard much about Slime.
