Run Flat tires

Hi everybody there is a lot of myths that run flat tires that have a puncture can be repaired?  DO NOT repair a punctured run flat tire, you have driven on the tire with low tire pressure for numerous miles, therefore over stressing the tire sidewall and damaging the tire. It is recommended by most tire manufactures to replace and not repair.

How frustrating is it when you go for your state emission inspection and the station tells you that, hey your OBD readiness codes are not set so you need to drive it some more to set the readiness codes. Very simple drive between 20 mph and 30 mph for 4 minutes and then speed up and maintain a speed of 55 for 20 minutes and all your readiness codes will set.
