Can You Drive on the Highway with a Punctured Tire?
1 Answers
Tire punctures on the highway depend on the specific situation. If the tire is punctured by a nail on the tread (the part that directly contacts the ground), it is not a serious issue, and you can continue driving on the highway after repairing the tire. However, if the puncture is on the sidewall of the tire or if the nail has caused a large tear, it is not recommended to drive on the highway. In such cases, it is safer to replace the tire with a new one. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on metal rims, designed to support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, maintain contact with the road, and ensure driving performance.
