There were several homes in my neighbor being renovated and I apparently ran over a screw (I'm sure it came from there) and I started getting a low warning on the dash.
I took it to America's tire and they patched it. The tire is a run-flat so a thick rubber stuff was trying to come out of the hole. Well, the patch didn't work, the tire slowly went flat in the garage.
I called the dealer as the car is/was still under warranty and he told me you can't fix run-flats, the car doesn't have a spare. So, I had to buy a new tire.
I didn't want to have the car towed so I found a screw in my toolbox and screwed the screw into the hole. I aired up the tire to 10 lbs. over normal and it didn't lose any air overnight.
So, I drove the car to the dealer and bought a new tire.
Safe travels,
MM.
