Arrgghhhh!!!
My Mini Cooper picked up a nail in her right back foot, and she's limping a bit. I keep pumping her up, but she only lasts a few hours before complaining again that her foot hurts. So I stopped off at COSTCO to get a plug for her, and they said "Oh, we don't repair run flat tires, and we don't stock that kind."
So I called the Mini dealer in Honolulu and they said "Oh, we don't repair run flat tires, but we have one in stock for $202.64 plus mounting and balancing and labor."
WTF, why can't they just stick a plug in it like they've been doing for decades? I mean, it's just a nail, and in the tread area not the sidewall. Noooo, gotta sell me a new one.
I guess it's the cost of the convenience of not having to change a flat tire, just keep driving on it.
