Does a Tubeless Tire Need to Be Replaced After Being Punctured by a Nail?
1 Answers
A tubeless tire punctured by a nail does not necessarily need to be replaced; it can be repaired at a professional facility and continue to be used. However, if the tire sidewall is punctured, it cannot be repaired, and in such cases, it is recommended to replace the tire with a new one. Tires are critical components of a vehicle, directly affecting driving safety and stability. Being made of rubber, they age over time and thus require regular replacement. When purchasing new tires, always check the production date, as tires also have a shelf life. Avoid buying tires that have been in storage for more than three years. Regularly monitor tire pressure during daily use—it should neither be too high nor too low. Excessive pressure reduces tire grip, while insufficient pressure can cause wave-like deformation during high-speed driving.
