Leaking Run Flats

Nowak · 03-24-2015, 11:03 PM

I just discovered a nail in my rear tire after the tpm went off. The tire is a stock BMW run flat. Is it OK to leave the car sit for several days before having it patched at a tire shop? I'll be out of town and it would sit for 3-4 days. I know you can drive 50 or so miles on these when they are completely flat, so I would assume leaving it sit would have little impact?

PS I'm getting new tires soon, just waiting for winter to end in MN.

How fast are you losing air? I mean you can always have it towed once you are ready to get it fixed. If the nail is there and not being driven on it shouldn't do much aside from let out air constantly while its stationary.

Also change your tires! RFT suck
