    I had a runflat repaired - 2 nails removed - and its held its pressure since.
    The nails weren't in the sidewall. If they were, i guess it would have been scrapped

    £269.10 each OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHH HHH !!!

    That has got to be the most expensive quote I have ever heard for a tyre. Are you sure you haven't traded the MINI in for a Pagani Zonda requiring new tyres?

    Pays to shop around. Has anyone tried www.mytyres.net ? The ship them to your house and then you take them to an authorised fitting centre. The Dunlop 15" tyres for mine are only £42 each on there :)
