I picked up a nail on a rear continental on Saturday. Got a low pressure warning. Took it to nearby the tyre shop. They advised it could not be repaired because the nail was on the outer tread pattern.
They had a secondhand (near new) Continental 275/19 in stock. Put on for $500. That is half price in Australia. A new continental is $1,000. Their advice was to put on Pirellis when the time comes to replace worn tyres. They are "only" $750 ea. |

So basically the decision to continue driving on run flats after a TPMS warning is a decision to throw the punctured tire away, regardless of tread wear. I plan to carry a compressor and sealant, and switch to non-run flat Michelins as soon as the Pirellis wear out.
