Can a Nail Puncture in the Tire Sidewall Be Repaired?

[DelArthur]

A nail puncture in the tire sidewall cannot be repaired, and it is recommended to replace the tire. Since the sidewall is the weakest part of the tire, attempting to repair it may cause the adhesive patch to detach, and using a mushroom plug repair can lead to bulging. The decision to replace or repair a punctured tire depends on the location and extent of the damage. If the puncture is in the tread area and the nail is not too thick, it can be repaired at a professional repair shop. Tire self-inspection considerations include: 1. Bulges; 2. Tread patterns; 3. Air pressure; 4. Embedded stones. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery, typically installed on metal rims to support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, ensure contact with the road surface, and maintain driving performance.
