I think I have a slow leak in one of my run flat tires. FTM went off today and I stopped to check my tires, one was a little low on air. This is the second time in a week. Can run flats be patched if there is a slow leak or do I need a whole new tire?

Thanks

I also had a slow weak once, they patched it.
Dealer said he wasn't allowed to by BMW, but the leak was on a "safe" place to patch. So he did it, naughty dealer .....

Also had a slow leak after taking off snows, my leak was along the inside rim seal, easy fix, basically break the seal, reseal, reinflate, no more leak, go to a shop that can do low profile rims otherwise they could be damaged
