Ran over nail punctured side wall
#1
The garderners did a nice job on the hedge and the ivy but as I was pulling out of my garage I ran over a board with some nails in it. I could hear air coming out of the rt. front tire and found a puncture or two in the side wall.
This sucks but I'm pretty sure I did not damage the actual MINI in anyway.
I should probably go read the owners manual right now but maybe you guys can tell me. can I drive to the tire shop or do I need to go to the dealership or do I need to be towed or what?
I'll probably just buy a replacement run-flat since they are still new (7000mi.)

>>Otherwise, try tirerack.com. They have good inventory all the time.
i sent a pm to ZAMIREZ about his tires but did not hear back and my tire shop said they will order me a tire from back east but it will take awhile to get here so I must drive my wifes civic for awhile. I may attempt to ride my bike to work sometime this week, which would be great.

Thanks for the tips.

>>why run flats at all
Because I only damaged one tire and do not want to replace the other 3 that are only 7000 miles old. If I am going to replace anything on my MINI i am going to wait until the original equip is in need of replacement.
I don't believe it is recommended to run three runflats and one non-runflat.

ummm, make sure they ordered the runflats, 200 is low for runflats not coming from tirerack, the shop I went to priced me around that for a new non runflat dunlop SP9000 (or whatever it was), runflat was a hundred more, I just got 4 brandie new non runflats (toyo proxes4) for 85 apiece, nice tire.
