Can you puncture repair a run flat tyre?

Tyre has a screw in it in the centre tread blocks (comfortably within the area repairable normally).

Can you get puncture repairs done on run flats? I have this vague memory of once being told you couldnt.

Someone I know has just had a run flat repaired, the garage didn't want to do it but he was insistent.
They wanted £300 to replace the tyre. A super car you may be thinking? No, 'its a poverty spec. 2L BMW diesel,(but I can get 60mpg out of it).

Guys

Appreciate some updated thoughts on this.

Have picked up a screw right through the very centre of the tyre on my brand new 285 45 19 runflat Pirelli snow and ice which has made me really chuffed. Aside from cost of replacement, the bigger issue would be finding somewhere that even has stock of the tyre as it was a special order back in September, so if I don't get this sorted then I'm going to end up having to stick the Summers back on just as the weather turns for the worse

Yes, they are good albeit used Micheldever for the Winters. Hope you are right as the interweb suggests that many dealers are put off tackling Pirellis because they have a statement on their website that they don't endorse puncture repairs on RFT's unlike for instance Dunlop.

Given that I know I have not driven it at less than 26psi as carry a gauge and was actually at a service station when the warning went off hence could re-inflate, I know there is nothing wrong with the tyre. It's losing about 1psi every 45 mins so going to slightly over-inflate last thing tonight to see it through to the morning as well

I'd go the DIY route before throwing that away. With these you don't even need the tyre off the rim:

I've had a tyre repaired with these in the past and I never died once, before anyone pipes up.

Guidlines say you can't for the majority of RFT's. Saying that, I would get mine puncture repaired. I wouldn't feel as comfortable at top speed on the autobahn though.

I have a slightly different problem.

As soon as I realise that I have a puncture in my run-flay then can I stop the car and try to "repair" this with one of those puncture repair kits that are often used these days? I realise that this would not be a permanent repair but would it be OK to give me quite a few more miles to get to a decent garage before I had to have the tyre replaced ?

Any advice welcomed.

I'm considering using this kit anyone have a view.
On my 4th puncture in 3 months
I can't afford to replace another rf at £300+ it's starting to drive me bonkers!

I have just spoken with Bridgestone who have confirmed that you CAN repair the tyres. They did say that the tyre fitter will have to inspect the tyre for its condition and following certain guidlines the tyre is fine for repair.
