+ One bottle of tire glue should be fine. Assuming even a slightly neat gluing job not much glue is really needed for a tire set.

Some of the difference in various brands is in thickness/viscosity, which impacts how quickly it sets/cures. Mostly a personal choice, starting out with slower curing glue might be helpful. Airplane oriented shops will carry CA in a wide variety of viscosities.

I’ve had pretty good success with AKA tire glue, but a good cleaning and drying of the tire and rim is at least if not more important than the glue. It’s fairly quick setting glue if I’m not mistaken.

If you do stock up with multiple bottles of CA-tire glue-superglue, keep the extras in the refrigerator (never hurts to keep it all in it). It will extend the shelf life.
