Can a tire with a nail puncture still be used if it's not leaking air?

[LePreston]

Generally, the tread of a tire is relatively thick. If a nail punctures the tread, you can pull it out and apply some soapy water to the puncture site to check for bubbles. If bubbles appear, it indicates that the tire is damaged and should not be used, as it can easily lead to safety accidents. Below are some related tips on car tire maintenance: 1. Regularly check tire pressure: Inflate underinflated tires promptly to maintain consistent tire pressure. Otherwise, it can cause rapid wear of low-pressure tires, increase driving resistance, raise fuel consumption, and lead to issues like directional deviation. 2. Avoid hitting obstacles: When driving at high speeds, hitting obstacles such as potholes can cause severe compression deformation between the obstacle and the tire near the rim flange. This can damage the tire's inner fabric cords, leading to air leakage from broken cords and the formation of bulges. In severe cases, it can cause the tire sidewall to rupture, resulting in sudden air loss.
