put your spare on then drive to a garage. i think if its just a nail or screw in the tyre they can fix it for a tenner

if not then your going to have to get a new tyre

I wouldnt drive the car with the screw in the tyre man unless its purely town driving (i.e 30mph),

the tyre place can usually plug the tyre so it wont cost a fortune:)

as long as the screw isn't really close to the sidewall they can repair it no probs
