Do I Need to Replace the Tire if It's Punctured by a Nail?
1 Answers
If the puncture is on the part of the tire that contacts the ground, it can be repaired and continue to be used. However, if the sidewall of the tire is punctured, it is recommended to replace the tire directly. Below is some relevant information: 1. After discovering that your car's tire has been punctured by a nail, you need to check the situation. First, check whether the tire pressure is sufficient. Many cars nowadays come with a tire pressure monitoring system, so you can check the tire pressure gauge. 2. If there is no tire pressure monitoring system, you can observe whether there are any obvious changes in the shape of the car's tire. If there are no obvious changes, there's no need to be overly nervous. While driving, just reduce your speed and quickly find a repair shop to fix it. However, if you notice significant changes in the tire, you should not continue driving.
