Default Tire ?
Just purchased my C6 one month ago and i noticed a nail in the tire today, the tire shop said they cant repair run flat tires, went 2 a different shop and they said they could, any info on patches or plugs or is the tire no good after a nail punctures it? Thanks for any info provided.

I had several repairs done to my original run flats.....no problems. i did have one repair start to leak but that was after a few months and several burn outs. The tire was bald and ready to be replaced anyway.
