It was a small nail, maybe 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch long and very skinny. But I'd rather spend a few more dollars now and get this thing done "right" the first time and not have to deal with it again.

It looks like your nail was very small. I had a self tapping bolt with threads embedded in my tire -- between 1/8" to 1/4" in diameter. Much larger than your nail.

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