Warning light came on this morning on the way to work,got home tonight had a look,and there is a sodding nail in it,what's the best thing to do? If i have to buy a pair of runflats rather than 1,will it be cheaper to buy 4 non-RF's than 2 RF's.

Correct. They can and should be repaired without quibble, provided the nail is in the specified area that is allowed.

As said, non-runflats are better ride and naturally cheaper. Falkens are good.

One way out, if the tyre has plenty of tread and good make Dunlop 01 or similar, stick it on ebay and get enough back to buy your new non-runflat!
I need to enquire and see if can be repaired first,could really do without this expense atm too mad
i'mnot replacing it with what is has on currently,Pirelli Euphori's at £225 a tyre eek
