Flat Tire

typeszh · 01-24-2008, 01:01 AM

Anyone know of a place in the Bay Area that patches run flats? I may have a flat, I have to check my tires in the morning.

Edit: I just check and I do have a nail in my rear tire.

I still had like 10 psi in the tire. Hopefully it is repairable.

check local shops.

they normally repair for like $10 on normal tires. not sure about run flats.

Just wonderign if anyone knows a shop that repairs these. It would jsut save me the trouble.

If possible, pump it up before you drive too far, even if it leaks back out.

Where's the nail? If it's more than an inch from the sides, it should be repairable. Plug and patch.

It was like an inch from the sidewall. I got it plugged. The tire guy said they don't patch those tires there.

Just make sure the side wall was not compromised while driving with low pressure.
