My tyre fitter has offered to fix my punctured runflat - is it worth trying?
My local tyre fitters have said they may be able to plug the nail hole in my 245/35 R18 runflat Bridgestone tyre for £16.99. Is it worth trying or should I just bite the bullet and payout for a new tyre?

If they are offering, that's good of them. Worth trying. Because it's a runflat it can't suddenly blow out so is much safer than an ordinary tyre if the plug doesn't hold.
From choosing the right tyre to what to do when it goes wrong - we have the answers.
