Of course it can be fixed... just needs patched up, like a bike tyre. Take it to a garage who fit tyres...
theyll charge yi like £10 - £15 for it.

same as i was informed!!! plus mine was a little more than a piercin by a hole, it was like a cash or tear close to the edge!!
said if it was repaired under heavy load or fast drivin it cud cause a blow out which the tire fitters may be held responsible for!!
so they werent touchin it!!

To take the wheel off the car... remove the tyre.. fix the puncture (i had two like  )
refit the tyre, balance it, then refit the wheel! Try and get that for 3 quid
