if the hole is in the sidewall you have to get a new tire. if it's in the tread you can get it pluged and will be good as new

You can start by spelling tire correctly (smile),...You can either buy a new tire OOOOR, go to a little tire shop and have the tire "plugged", which is cheaper. If the tire is shot to hell and hasn't much tread left, go ahead and replace the whole thing, but if it's got some good tread still left on it (like if you can't see Lincoln's Nose when you stick a penny in there...), you should just get it plugged. Good Luck!---And I just learned something new (they say you do everyday...)...didn't know until now (from the answers of the above experts--MEN...) that you couldn't repair or plug it if the hole is in the side wall...interesting...Anyway, good luck.

If the hole is on the sidewall of the tire, go buy a new tire, because any repair you try will not hold due to the flexing of the sidewall. If the hole is in the tread then it can be fixed.
The key is not to curb your tires. This includes brushing walls.

Quit being so petty bustin this guys chops about the way he spells "tyres". I can see none of you have been to Canada, The British Isles or all of Europe.

call the tyre manufacturer and they may fly their best engineers out to you fix it, for a fee of around £10,000.
Or you could go to a tyre shop and buy a new one for 30 quid!

Put the air back inside....J/K.....If it has a hole in the sidewall, it is not repairable. You need a new tire.

koma is correct.
By the way, tire is spelled with an "I" not a "Y".
