Called about 10 other shops and they were all closed. I finally found a small tire shop that agreed to mount it on. Took them no longer than 10 mins to mount the tire and balanced it. Maybe they have no experience with runflats and that's what causing the problem. And by the way, I was told that it is impossible/unsafe to plug and patch a runflat. Is that true?
