Nice to see a guy posting from Sactown. I hope you did not buy locally since the dealers there are the worst when it comes to getting a good price. Which Les Schwab did you go to. Just concern that they do not have the proper equipment to dismount/mount the RFT without damaging the rim.
I wish I had known! I'm new to Cali, so I just ended up going to the local dealer. In hindsight I should have shopped around a bit more.

Anyhow, I went to the Les Schwab on Northgate Blvd. They seemed to do a decent job, no scratches or damage to the rim.

Care to share what method of repair you used, plug or internal patch?
I've seen it recommended to do both a plug and a patch, but it has to be the right kind of plug. Here is what Goodyear has for policy regarding repair of speed rated tires on police cars:

Tire Rack recommends similar: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/tec...e.jsp?techid=77


Runflat or not, it's probably the best & safest solution.
