Runflat, Repair???

[cbre90]

can you repair a runflat nail hole. the hole is in the tread??

Yes, they can be repaired. You need to take it somewhere that has the right equipment to dismount the tire from the wheel however. The sidewalls are very strong and therefore a regular rim clamp tire machine would damage the wheel.

Anybody know how much these run flats go for?

Dealer told me Runflats should not be repaired... (not sure if this was a dealer money maker ploy)...and that I should get the tire replacement service.

I figured runflats run +250.00. So if I have to replace 2 tires in 5 years...I'll be good to go after paying 500...for 5 year coverage.

Take that for what its worth.

Expensive little suckers.. I do think that they are just as repairable as a regular tire. They are too much $$ not to be.

You can repair them you just have to be careful, you can only patch the center tread. These are slowly becoming a big deal (run flats), which means in the future the price should come down significantly.
