GoodYear RunFlat Repair
I got a nail in my tire Saturday night.
Sunday morning I called the Goodyear 800 number.
The message said these tires need special care etc, looking for a location nearest you........ Sorry this location is closed Sunday.
Monday is a holiday, so I'm sure they are closed then.
What if you were on a trip, what would you do??

Sorry to hear about your misfortune.
Officially, you can drive up to x number of miles without air in the tire. Just don't overdo it, because you'll damage the tire if you drive more than x mph and over x number of miles.
My advice is, if it's just barely leaking air, I would just keep an eye on it and keep filling it up with air until you get home.
Plus, don't drive really fast. I wouldn't get it plugged at all. If it's a bad leak and you really need to get something done immediately, I would find a new tire.
