You can repair small punctures with PVC cement, but the results will not be optimal.
To repair a tire (inner tube), you need a solvent that will disolve a bit of the top layer of the rubber tube and the bottom layer of the patch. Then, as the solvent dries, the two, together with the added rubber in the rubber cement, become one. this gives a strong, flexible, air tight seal.
The solvents in PVC cement fill the bill for disolving the rubber. But instead of a flexible rubber base, it's relatively inflexible PVC. Your repair will be air tight, but far less flexible than it would be with rubber cement. This may, in the long term, lead to stress failure at the edge of your patch.

What polymers are used in tires?
Kevlar (Aromatic Polyamides) is used in tire reinforcement. Polybutadiene (Butadiene Rubber, BR) is used for the carcass and side wall.
