Do you have any experience with the temporary tire fix system that M3's come with? Is it too risky to reinflate the tire after using the puncture kit with the nails still in the side wall? The tire shop is about 10 miles from my place. I'm debating if a flat bed truck is necessary for such a trip on a wounded tire. The tire leaks from 33psi to flat in about 3 hours.
Sounds like its no slow leak which may make it more risky I suppose. I had the exact same tyre get a screw in the sidewall stuck out in the burbs two nights ago, I re-inflated using the kit that came with the car, drove carefully home (approx 10 miles) and next morning went to buy a new ps2. That next morning it had gone from 40psi (I purposely over inflated) down to about 21psi so reinflated again and drove to the tyre shot (< 5miles).
