if it's in the tread and not close to the sidewall, it can be successfully patched. go to goodyear store. call them first and make sure they know HOW to patch their own runflats.

DISCOUNT TIRE!!! They'll fix it for free.I would not recommend a Goodyear store. You would think they would know more about repairing a Goodyear than anybody else, but my experience and stories I've read here on the forum are that they usually know less than the other well known tire shops. They'll try to sell you a new one.
