No shop I have checked with will repair my nail hole because it is a run-flat. It is in a normally repairable location.

Anyone have a used single I could buy?

Or I will have to get the tires I want Yoko AVS-ES100's. I think I can buy three for the price of one run-flat.

 

I would put a mushroom-style plug in it and forget about it.
Just keep it under 130 mph, ok?

yea, you can use a standard-style plug, just like bodinski said

 

Plugging a tire is an arena I know absolutly nothing about. Is there a kit you can buy to do it? Examples?

 

There are basically 2 ways to fix a flat. You can plug it from the outside by shoving in a plug and glue but it normally isn't recommended as a permanent type repair--especially if you like to drive your car hard. The best way is to plug it from the inside--take the tire off, and plug it. This is supposed to be the best way to fix a tire.

Ask you question to Alex from Tirerack.com in the Tire forum for answers.

I guess I do not need to worry about fixing the flat since they destroyed the bead removing the tire I did not notice when I picked up the tire and rim in a rush on my lunch hour.

I doubt they will give me any credit for destroying a tire that could not be repaired, of course I will ***** and see.

Now do I buy:

One GY RSA (Current tires have 9.5K on them)?
4 New fun tires (I wanted to buy a milltek exhaus)?
Just put the car away for the winter and drive my winter beater w/snows and forget about this debacle until spring .

 

The tire was repairable until they ruined it. If they don't patch runflats, that is their choice. It still doesn't grant them license to destroy your property. They owe you a tire.

 

#4 Replace what I'm guessing are heavy S-lites with some lighter 15s/16s and new tires.

 

A set of light wheels + tires has been rattling around in the back of my head... I would be torn between the look of 17's and weight of 16's.

Not a racer maybe a track day a year, but I love to go go go...

 

I updated my signature to receive loving abuse by fellow NAM members to make me purchase light wheels and performance products I want but have not justified during this "tiring" time.

 

This would be a good place to start...
