Nail In Winter Tyre

Hi All,

I have a spare set of 18" wheels with Continental Wintercontact 255/55/ R18 tyres, both supplied by BMW.

I have noticed that 1 of them has gained a nail straight through the centre of the tread - no loss of pressure at the moment and I've left the nail in situ. These wheels are currently off the car.

Can I get the tyre repaired? I know many tyre fitters won't repair a run flat, but are these run flats? Also, if they are, I think they're only sidewall strengthened so is a repair a possibility?

Cheers, Ian..

    Won't a tyre fitter plug a run flat? I'm sure I've heard this being done before.
