^^ I assume you mean using one of those “fix a flat aerosol cans.” If so: No, that isn’t what you want to do. That solution is a temporary fix to get your car with its flat to a shop that can fix the tire correctly.

To fix this, you need to plug the tire. There’s a couple of ways to plug a tire. The best way requires removing the wheel and dismounting the tire, and plugging the hole from the inside.
