Can the tire still be used after being punctured by a nail and removed without air leakage?

The tire can still be used after being punctured by a nail without air leakage, but there are safety hazards. Relevant introductions are as follows: 1. The tire is the only contact between the vehicle and the ground, it is the "foot" of a car, and also one of the components most prone to human accidents. Even the most skilled veteran driver may encounter a day when the tire is punctured by hard stones or nails. If such situations are not addressed, they can easily lead to a series of safety hazards such as tire blowouts. 2. You must not pull it out. If you pull it out immediately, the vacuum tire, which originally did not leak air, will continuously lose air as the tire pressure decreases. Some tires with higher pressure may even blow out on the spot, causing unnecessary personal injury. 3. First, confirm whether there is air leakage and how severe it is. If there is severe air leakage, immediately replace the spare tire. If there is no spare tire, call for rescue.
As a veteran driver with years of experience, I must remind you that tire safety is no trivial matter. I remember last year when my car tire got punctured by a nail—after pulling it out, there was no air leakage at all, and I almost neglected it out of laziness. But a friend's words woke me up: 'A tire is like a balloon; a small hole doesn't mean it's safe. Once the internal cord layer is damaged, it might hold up at low speeds, but the pressure surges at high speeds can easily cause a blowout.' I immediately went to the repair shop, where the mechanic used a pressure gauge and detected a slow leak. A 30-yuan patch fixed it. This incident taught me a lesson: now, I never delay addressing tire issues. I'd rather spend a bit more on inspections than risk an accident on the road. Regularly checking tire pressure and appearance during daily driving is key to preventing problems. Safe driving starts with the details—don't let small issues turn into big disasters.
