Must have got a screw last night or early this morning since the screw still had a little paint on top. It's in the very center rib which is pretty deep rubber I suppose. TPM is reading the tire is fine and I'm not really sure the screw completely penetrated (butt there's no way to know for sure)
I drove to a busy tire shop, but all the techs were busy so the front counter girl came out to see. She basically told\asked me it's a BMW Runflat right????? I said yes. She says there's nothing we can do since this is a special tire. She then starts talking about its good to replace the tires with regular tires that could be plugged.
At this point I brushed her off and left.
I drove to get a haircut and found my barber knows a tire tech that told him I should come by after his manager leaves. Said he could probably patch the tire from the inside, but couldn't plug it due to it being a RFT.
Is there a problem patching the tire or am I better off driving it as is and rely on the RFT?? I didn't get the tire deal when I picked up my X5 cause it was so expensive. I wonder if I can get a tire deal now? Tires are barely over 3 months old with LOTS of tread.
What would you do?
