I am running bridgestone run flats at the moment and all 4 have pretty good tread on. Once they are due for change I will likely go MPSS / non run flat.
For the time being though I don't want to scrap good tyres, but have picked up a nail into the front NS tyre. It's right in the middle of the tread so prime puncture repair territory, it's also not leaking (although very slight bubbles show when you spray it with tyre solution/soapy water, so I know it has gone into the tyre).
Everyone I have spoken to has advised it is not legally possible for them to repair a run flat - so what I would like to know is this:
1) Has everyone else found this to be the case? Or have you amnaged to get a run flat repaired?
2) Would you dynaplug in this circumstance? And is that ok for a tyre with 6+mm tread left
3) All the places I have spoken to have advised the nail isnt going anywhere. Whilst it isnt losing pressure (which could change over time, albeit gradually), it is probably fine as is - has anyone left a nail in place for a prolonged period of time?
Thanks.
