I'm not saying that run-flats can't be repaired, you can plug them just like any tire. I'm just telling you what the dealer and any tire shop is going to tell you.

Still does not explain why one would have to buy multiple tires of one goes down, that's what I was questioning. I get the potential of having to replace 1 tire, but why a pair or all 4?
