A late reply and I hope I am not repeating things - a couple thoughts, if this issue is still bubbling ...
1) Call Porsche dealer to your liking and ask them if they will price match you on a tire (explain your situtation). I had a nail in an almost new rear tire and was able to get a very close price match with the dealer -- at least at a price point I was ok with paying since they had the exact replacement tire in stock and could get it done within a couple hours. Then have PRA flatbed your car to that dealer.
2) As per Damon @ Tirerack above, drop ship a tire to your repair shop, and use AAA to flatbed to your shop. Depending on your AAA coverage your cost between 1) & 2) may not be as big as you may think.

I have had 2 back tires and 1 front tire replaced by my $800 Porsche flat tire/wheel warranty. So, I'm way ahead of the game. All mine have been nails or screws that just caused the pressure to drop, but not go completely flat.

Is it possible just to carry an "tube" so that if you do get a side wall puncture the wheel could be temporarily repaired ( by tire installer ) until you reach your destination.
Just a thought ..............
