Sorry to hear you had a problem. Some shops just have had little experience on repairing run-flats. Just guessing, but I would think that had the mounted tire and rim been balanced properly, you'd find little "out of balance" problems. The weight difference in the one new MCGARD lugnut should make a negligible difference. I would suspect the problem lies with the patch in that tire and a poor balance job. I'd have the tire rebalanced at a reputable local shop. Good luck and let us know your outcome. We all learn from it! :w
