I know this has been asked soooo many times - but where did people in Edinburgh get their run-flats repaired?
700 miles in and my 17" Pirelli has a puncture already!:disapprove::dead:

Oh forgot to add....it is a screw in the back tyre - smack bang in the first groove in from the outside edge!
Bummer.
Did it happen on a building site Wul? Can you not get your work to pay?
Dunno where it happened Ken - got the dreaded PING! on Saturday morning and thought at first it was the dealer putting stupid pressures in (35psi,31psi fronts :: 38psi, 26psi rears).
Then checked again today and the rear had dropped to 28psi in 2 days - so had a look and there was the offending screw.
Can probably get the repair done at work through kwik-fit mobile but wondered where the rest of the gang had theirs done - MMM has had one repaired if I remeber rightly.
Your friends and mine....Dunedin! just make sure they 'repair' the correct tyre. £15 a pop...as it were! It was a screw that punctured mine.
Cheers Calum - will call them and see how much they want.
Calum - just called Dunedin - guess what - they now won't repair the 17" pirelli tyres! Is that not the tyre you have/ had on your car?
National charge a tenner. It might be a bit near the sidewall though. I think that they recommend that you only repair the middle third.
Oh! And National also scratch the rims!!
Wul,
Just had a look on the Pirelli website. A huge PDF file about Euforias on there say something like "Pirelli does not recommend repairing the tyre"
Perhaps just get on the phone to all the tyre fitting places around town and ask if they can deal with runflats and if they'll repair a puncture on one.
I cannot for the life of me see why it shouldn't be done as long as the stiff sidewall is not weakened. They will not repair a puncture on a normal tyre with a hole in the sidewall anyway.
Did you not get round to getting the Tyresafe stuff yet?
That's new! I've never had any problems with the repaired tyre(s). Still running them.quote:Originally posted by Wul
