Tire punctured by a nail can still be used depends on whether the puncture has damaged the internal structure of the tire. Here are the details about nails puncturing the tire sidewall: 1. Specific conditions: If the tire crack is damaged or has affected the internal cord material, it is not recommended to repair and continue using it. If the tire crack has not damaged the cord material, it can still be used, but it is necessary to regularly check whether the wound has expanded or the cords are damaged. If this happens, replace the tire immediately. 2. Precautions: Always check the tire pressure. The inflation pressure must comply with the national standards for different types and specifications of tires. According to the vehicle the tire is fitted to, the inflation pressure can follow the recommended front and rear tire pressure agreed upon by the car manufacturer and the tire manufacturer.
