Does a sedan tire need to be replaced if it gets punctured by a nail?
1 Answers
Whether a sedan tire needs to be repaired or replaced after being punctured depends on the specific situation. Here are the details: 1. Identify the location of the puncture. If the nail is in the tire's tread (the part that contacts the ground) and the puncture is small, then the tire can be repaired. 2. If the tire's sidewall is cut by a sharp object, it is recommended to replace the tire rather than attempting a repair. Damage to the sidewall significantly affects the tire's ability to withstand pressure, increasing the risk of a blowout at high speeds. Therefore, for safety reasons, it is better to replace the tire rather than repair it.
