Had mine repaired by the guys in BoD, next to the hyundia garage, just down from Vetco Gray, I don't live in Aberdeen any more so can't be more specific. I had a 1 series BMW with runflats, they fixed it no problem though they did say it was very tight to come off the rim.
That would be Laws tyres, Broadfold roadI’ve not had any problems with wear on mine buts it’s mainly town driving I use it for. However at a grand for 4 tyres I may well opt for normal tyres that give more grip and comfort for less outlay. With the money I save I’ll be able to afford a spare or a tin of tyre weld and a compressor

They can be repaired. That said though I intend to change all 4 RF on my BM 645 to "normal" tyres as I'm sick of forking out over £300 every few months for a new tyre. The Bridgestones I've had are total rubbish and keep getting bulges on the sidewalls, which writes them off.
Had exactly the same with a Goodyear Run flat.Bulge just appeared in the sidewall.
keep meaning to send it back to Goodyear.
Laws fixed my tyre today, no problem at all, £240 saved, thank you. Apparently the reluctance in repairing these tyres is due to the fact that the strengthened tyre walls can be damaged when you run them flat at speed or for any distance. The tyre fitters only have your word for how far or fast you’ve driven. I know that I noticed this slow puncture before it went flat so I'm happy.

Fairly o/t but did you see alistair laws truck? chevrolette SSR i think! great massive yellow thing! hes a family friend and hes got an... interesting choice in cars :PI have a 335d and have done 32,000 miles so far, great car except for the tyres.
Had three 330ds before this one doing roughly 30k per year all on non RFTs and was getting 40+k from the rears and 60+k from the fronts. On this car I get half that plus a wandering car and my driving habits are just the same. Also the RFTs are 50% more expensive so taking into account all the comments above I will be changing over to non RFTs.
I used Angus Tyres in Arbroath to replace the 2 rear ones with Michelin RFTs at 22k both fitted for just over £300 (and I thought that was dear?) the fronts are due soon so will use this company again
