That's why they're called Run Flats=I'll run them until they go flat.
Good Year in UK, just to make the point, brand theirs "RunOnFlat".
I don't know if they make a "RunTillFlat".

My Ride: Currently: (3/1/06) 2002 530i black on black prem, sport, cold, xenon.
Luckily I have this forum.
I called my local shop this am, they specialize in German cars. Told them I just wanted a patch on my run flats. At first they said it was not recommended, but to bring car around.
I explained that they could repair patch from inside tire as long as the sidewall was not damaged. They called someone locally and they told them the Bridgestone would be fine with a patch.
Considering I have 477 miles on car/tires and the nail went straight into tire, I'm not too worried. I'm likely never going to go over 100 mph anyway so patch should hold up just fine. Saved me $300+.
If I experience any shakes or anything I will report on it.

Thanks, good to know. Any clue about patches working or not?
