big nail : flat tyre

[Ekshah]

So the wifey says tire pressure warning on rear driver side tire. Doh! This is the 2008 X5 4.8i we have had for less than 3 weeks!
And sure I do see a nair/screw stuck in it. The Michelin run flats are pimp, and lucky for me it was not in the side wall.
I spoke to 3-4 tire shops and they all said they don't fix run flats and there would be a cost associated if they did, suggesting replacement, blah! Got voicemail at Classic BMW's service when i thought i'd ask their opinion. After reading several blogs getting a run flat fixed vs. replaced later, I called up my fav. Discount Tire Co. shop in Sachse, TX. They confirmed Michelin Runflats can be fixed.
It took less that 15 mins for the work (plus the 2hr wait), but they did do it from the inside, and its as good as new: COST : $0.00, yep that is Zero! vs. having to change the tire - priceless!
And yes I watched the enitre process where they not only removed the tire from the Rim, but did infact fix it from the inside (they also used some liquid polymer kinda substance), and without getting in to the details, we're good to go.
So don't fret if your Run flats have a nail, find a discount tire co, store
Cheers!
