From what you have said it was flat before you "gunked" it so I suspect it is probably beyond salvation.
But you could try Martins Tyres in West End near Bisley (not far from the M3 at J3).
I have used them for years, and they repaired a Pirelli run-flat on my 1 Series for £10 - I got another 11K miles out of it!
Most places just want to sell new tyres.

If it was run flat - scrap it!

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.

I contacted ATS (thanks for the suggestion btw). They said if it was water based they could repair it, but if it was oil based they wouldn’t, and they couldn’t tell until they took the tyre off.M1k3yC wrote: ↑Mon Oct 04, 2021 5:57 pmHave you tried ATS? ATS states that it will repair runflat tyres and I don't see "having used a repair/get-you-home kit" as a listed reason why a repair would be impossible. See: https://www.atseuromaster.co.uk/consume ... ure-repair
I really can’t be arsed with this faff, so it’s going in for a new Michelin Crossclimate today at £160. Yes, I know, blackcircles will do one for £128, but not until Thursday.
Although the subject of this post is not a Z4, I hope it will be a salutary lesson for anyone who has ditched runflats in favour of a bottle of gunk in the boot. The one upside is that the gunk/pump was really easy to use, effective, and got my wife home without any drama (except for calling me out to operate the damn thing!)

Agree, I have rats tails in the boot of the MR and have repaired two punctures. They work just fine and are quite easy to use. You just need to be aware of the rules regarding what you can fix.

HoltsTyre Weld?
Both of my cars have cans of gunk that are probably going out of date so I’d rather put something in the boot that will allow a potential tyre repair.

Yes buddy Holts tyre weld First time I was kinda expecting it to be scrapped after reading the stories, I seen the tyre come off and to be honest there wasnt that much mess, it was wiped clean with a few rags, repaired and on its way again.. Im sure the big nationals will tell you it can't be done as they just want to sell you a new tyre and maybe tyre slime is a bit more messy but by local tyre place told me the tyre weld wasn't an issue
