Does anyone know a place in NJ that will patch runflats?
Hey All,
Does anyone know a garage/repair shop in Northern New Jersey -- Hoboken Area, that will repair/patch a run flat tire? I replaced all four less than two years ago and two more since and I cannot afford to keep replacing them! Thanks in advance!

Runflats can overheat if run flat for too long or too far. Some companies don't want the liability of putting you back on the road with a tire that may have structural damage.

available at HarborFreight but you may need to search hard or ask.....(they tend to bury this item but it IS there)
I've run a runflat tire with two of these plugs for 10,000 miles .... works fine ..... so long as you did not exceed 50 miles on a flat runflat cuz THAT will breakdown the sidewall and THAT'S where a runflat's strength comes from.
