Went to dealership today to buy a part they didn t have. Picked up a nail over the weekend on my GY run flats. not leaking yet but im sure it will. Ask the dealership to repair it they refused. the nail is in about 3 inches from the sidewall, no problem right. I go to Good year tire and ask them to fix it, they refused. I wanted the tire removed and patched and they said you cant patch a runflat. I told them just plug it then, they refused. WTF, do I have to spend $400 everytime I pick up a nail !

Do you have a Discount Tire in your area? They have patched my Michelin RFs several times.
