Can run-flat tires be repaired?

Often not. It depends on the tire maker and how far it was driven.

My tire keeps losing air but there's no nail: why?

Valve stems, bead leaks and rim corrosion from road salt are common causes in Minnesota.

For a proper tread repair, yes. We check the pressure before you leave.
