Default Need a patch/plug for Tire

I just returned from a trip and went out and pulled the wheels off to clean them on Saturday. I found that the front right has a small finishing nail in it (about 1.5 inches from edge on inside tread). I would have never seen it if I had not pulled the wheels. I called several shops and no one will take the chance on fixing it. Does anyone know if there are any good shops that will patch/plug a run-flat on a 2015 Z? I might have to drive to West Coast Corvette and see what they can do but I would like to find someone in the Temecula/Murrieta/Menifee area if possible. Any ideas?????

So, America Tire won't do it? They do run flats, why not the Mich Cup 2's?

Called several and I received a call back from the one in Murrieta off the 15. They had me bring it down so they could look at it and see if they might be able to fix it. Had them pull out the nail and it was not long enough to cause a leak so I just took it back home and put it back on the car. I do see that MSS are in stock at tire rack so I might order a set to have in case I need them.

I use Pacific Tire in Wilmington.

It's a rough area and the workers don't speak english. .
$10 for a patch, no BS and is usually done in under 15 mins

Used them over the years to patch my run flats. I've taken my C6Z, ZR1 and won't hesitate to take my C7Z when the need arises.
