Was going to say the same as Craig, bead seal round the edge should make it hold air. If it's been flat with the weight of the car on I suppose it's possible the sidewall has been weakened so you'd need to think about whether you want to take that risk bud.

This happened to me this week. Tyre was a goner. When you take the tyre off you can see all the rubber worn. I only noticed it was flat when I decided the car kept sliding sideways more than it should have done. :D

 

You have only have to run it flat for a few minutes (if that) and it will be destroyed.
