    Punctured tyre can't be repaired

    Asked by Bill Robinson

    After suffering a punctured tyre on my BMW 125i the dealer told me to go to a Bridgestone dealer to have it repaired, as they were the only ones who could do it, but they told me it couldn't be repaired. When I asked about fitting conventional tyres they told it wasn't possible. That can't be right?

    Some run-flat tyres are marked that they can't be repaired, but that's not necessarily correct we've been told. Run-flats can be repaired providing the sidewall hasn't been damaged by being driven too far after the tyre deflated. There are tyre dealers other than Bridgestone dealers who have the equipment to remove run-flats from the rims and repair the tyres. Bridgestone have an equivalent conventional tyre to your run-flat and these can be fitted to your car.
