You know over here in Germany... when you have a regular tire patched(from the inside)... you can still run the tire to its V-Max rating. When I had my VW TDi... I had a flat... I had it patched... and I asked my tire shop... about dropping a speed rating... they said you can still go up to the tire speed rating safely. They dismounted the tire used a heater to heat up the area while the patch isde the tire was clamped in a C-clamp looking device. AFter all was done they said it would drive like it was never damaged.

I wonder IF they repair RFT over here? I should ask on my next visit there.
