Can You Still Drive with a Nail in the Tire?
1 Answers
Tires with nails can still be driven for a short distance, but the driver must adjust the steering, slow down, and stop to inspect the tire. If the nail is fully embedded in the tire, do not pull it out, as removing it may cause air leakage, making it impossible to drive to a repair shop. If the nail is embedded at an angle, check whether the tire pressure has dropped. If it is normal, you can try to remove the nail and continue driving at a low speed, heading to the nearest repair shop as soon as possible. Tire maintenance methods include: 1. Regularly clean out stones stuck in the tire treads; 2. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight; 3. Frequently check the tire pressure—the normal tire pressure value is indicated on the inner side of the fuel tank cap, so adjust accordingly; 4. Pay attention to suspension maintenance; 5. Regularly inspect the front wheel alignment.
