It is possible, but when I had a bike tyre plugged it lost some grip at the back. Whether this was just a psychological effect or not is another question.

i am not sure weather its the same rules as a car but if in in in the middle of the tread then i presume yeah, if its on the wall (sides) of the tyre then i dont think it would be repairable.

Check at your local garage as the cost of a repair is far a lot less than a new tyre
