I agree though if it has been driven with no air for long period (ie the tyre has gone hot). It should be replaced as said before the side wall may have been damaged by heat.
Check your car insurance details. Apparently it is void if such a tyre is repaired and not replaced - if you have an accident and they inspect the tyre!
The good news is that Bridgestone have now released RFTs that CAN be repaired (wonder what took them so long..)
