Can a nail in a car tire be pulled out directly?

It is not advisable to pull out a nail from a car tire directly. Here are some tire maintenance precautions: 1. Regularly check the tread depth: The thickness of the tire tread affects the tire's grip and drainage capacity. Regularly inspecting the tread depth is crucial. You can check it using the built-in tread wear indicators on the tire or a tread depth gauge. Generally, if the tread depth is less than 3mm, it should be noted, and if it is less than or equal to 1.6mm, the tire should be replaced immediately. 2. Measure tire pressure: Maintain the tire pressure at the recommended value in the manual. If it is too high or too low, adjust it accordingly.

I just had this happen last week - a screw got stuck in the right front tire. I immediately pulled over to check and saw the screw head was almost worn down but still leaking air. Honestly, I wouldn't dare pull it out myself - a coworker once recklessly yanked one out and ended up with a flat tire that needed immediate spare replacement. My advice is to apply soapy water around the screw - if bubbles form, it means there's a puncture, and you should drive slowly to a tire repair shop. The mechanic I went to later used professional pliers to remove it and did a mushroom plug repair. Never attempt to repair if the sidewall is punctured - you must replace the tire, safety first.

As a veteran driver with twenty years of experience, I've encountered nails in my tires at least a dozen times. Many people think pulling out the nail is no big deal, but what's really scary is not knowing how deep it's penetrated. I always use a screwdriver to probe around the nail—if the sidewall cords are exposed, pulling it out will definitely cause a leak. Last time at a highway rest stop, I saw a young guy recklessly yank out a nail, and with a 'pfft' sound, the tire went flat. Now, I always keep an air pump and tire repair fluid in my car for emergencies—they're really handy. A word of advice: if you get a nail in your tire, check the tire pressure monitor first. If it's dropping slowly, you can drive at low speed to a repair shop, but whatever you do, don't get back on the highway.

Just read some car safety test data - pulling out a nail from a tire directly can cause rapid pressure loss. Experiments show that when the nail diameter exceeds 3mm, air leaks at over 0.5bar per minute. I keep a tire pressure gauge in my car for such situations - first measure the pressure. If it's above 1.8bar, drive slowly to a repair shop, checking tire pressure every 2km during the trip. Nowadays they use mushroom plugs for repairs - applying an internal patch then inserting a rubber strip, which lasts three times longer than simple sealant. Remember to do wheel balancing after repair, otherwise the steering wheel may vibrate at high speeds.
