Can You Pull Out a Nail from a Tire?
1 Answers
Do not immediately pull out a nail from a tire. The nail punctures the tire but also acts like a plug. If you pull it out, it's like removing the plug, and the tire will definitely lose air. If the nail is thick, the tire will deflate immediately once the nail is removed. In this case, the only solution is to stay where you are and either change to a spare tire or call for roadside assistance. Tire leaks can be categorized into rapid leaks and slow leaks, and the appropriate response depends on the severity: 1. Rapid leak: Never continue driving—doing so can ruin the entire tire and poses a significant danger to the driver. Stop immediately and change to a spare tire. 2. Slow leak: You can drive slowly to a repair shop. Remember: Do not drive too fast or too far, and monitor the tire pressure constantly. It's also good to carry an air pump in the car to help maintain tire pressure until you reach the repair shop.
