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.
I am guessing you can't use tire slime.
