Default Flat runflats

On my way out of town loaded car and front driver’sside flat on my less than 2 month old Michelin SS runflats. Leak is somewhere at the valve stem no one else close by could properly address situation so now sitting at yes you guessed it the dealership. How much is this going to cost and more important how long. At least it happen before I got on the road

Where are you? Ed Morse Sawgrass? They sponsor our Corvette club, I guess they're ok as dealers go, though I've never used them, they're too far from me. But I don't understand, if the tires are 2 months old, who installed them and why wouldn't you take it to them to fix?

the OP didn't say how far he had driven on his way out of town. He could be too far to return to where he bought them. Just a guess on my part.

No I actually could have, but I was not happy with their work. So I went to Pines Chevrolet and the found that the issue was simple the previous shop did not tighten the sensors properly so eventually one loosen enough to allow all the air out over one night. They tighten the sensors properly and no charge. Needless to say I left happy.
