can a leak in a low profile tire be fixed

I believe I have a leak in my back passenger tire (nankang ns-II) and I would normally get a new one but at this time I can't afford it, it's nothing killer, just it is leaking air like from being full on monday to needing air thursday afternoon. Can it be fixed or do I need to just get a new one?

WHere did you get them from? Try going to tire kingdom and seeing if they can put a plug in it. Or any other tire store.

fixing it should be no problem for your local tire store, as long as the hole is not on the sidewall.

As long as its not on the sidewall, $10.00 should fix it at any shop.

As long as it is within the middle tread. The outter tread is "decision" area for the shop and for "performance" tires they will usually say no.
