Run Flat Tires Repair

Can we just pull out the nail or screw and put a rubber plug in the hole like ordinary tires?

Bridgestone, I suppose?

"Can I repair a punctured Bridgestone Runflat tyre?
With certain types of punctures in the tread area, the Bridgestone Run-Flat technology tyres may be repaired subject to certain conditions (Depending on how far and at what speed the car was driven after the puncture). Please consult your nearest RFT authorized dealer to have your tyres inspected.

Before attempting a repair, consult the vehicle owner's manual for restrictions. The vehicle manufacturer may restrict the use of repaired tires on its vehicles."

Yes you can as long as the tire hasn't been driven flat for any appreciable mileage.

And the hole is a ways away from the side of the tire. I know that Discount tire or American tire fixes them for free in most locations.
