I read somewhere that only the middle 65% should be repaired.

I read somewhere that only the middle 65% should be repaired.
They wont even look at the tyre if I tell them its a runflat. "Its illegal sir"... "oh go on heres a tenner..."... nope!!
I didn't tell the first place and they were about to repair it when they realised it was a runflat and then they wouldn't continue.
There is a problem with RunFlats **IF** you have driven on them while actually flat - if thats the case, they shouldn't be repaired. The problem for tyre-centres is that they have no way of knowing.
Gary - the repair on your tyre is closer to the edge than my screw!
Speaking of being screwed... I think I am!
That might have been the reason I bought a new tyre, come to mention it. I can't really remember, it was 3 years ago. :I
Have a look at this page.

I tried to get runflat puncture repaired in Galahiels - Absolutely no joy. Also they told me that I can't fit 'normal' tyres to my S-spokes - can anyone tell me if this is true?
thanks
Paul
It's not true. I have 'normal' tyres on my S Spokes.
Of course you can , did you ask them why not ?...I'd love to hear the answer to that one
I got a nail right in the centre of the tread of my brand-new runflat last year, and I made sure to keep the pressure topped up until I got it to a garage.
Not one garage in Stirling would fix it, all because BMW had warned of the safety issues of runflats that had been driven when flat. I guaranteed that it hadn't been, still no-one would fix it. Had to get a new tyre :evil:
