Tyre repair in Sydney?

Hi All,

As I was driving back home today, the warning came up on the dash indicating tyre pressure is low. I pulled over, after inspecting the tyres found a nail in the right rear tyre.
Now, I don't want to change the tyre yet if I can help it as I wanted to replace all 4 at the same time. Can anyone recommend where I can possibly repair a tyre puncture for the 135i? Would it be possible at all to repair these RFTs?

Thanks,
Allan

Found this old article - interesting though.

"Bridgestone has also told its dealers not to repair runflats even if they suffer something as simple as a nail through the tread, which means an expensive replacement tyre."

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the replies. I ended up visiting 3 different places and finally got someone that's willing to help out (thanks to the guys in Spin City at Parra.

I've also noticed it actually says on our tyre - "do not repair" lol
