How many days can a car tire last with a nail stuck in it?
1 Answers
Tire with a nail stuck in it can last for 1-2 days without removal. Here are the relevant details: 1. Precautions: If a tire with a nail is left untreated for a long time, the mild consequence is slow air leakage, while the most severe consequence could be a blowout during driving. Therefore, once a tire is punctured by a nail, it should be addressed as soon as possible. If the impact on the tire is minor, a tire repair can be performed. 2. Tire repair methods: There are various methods such as cold patching, hot patching, mushroom plug, and rubber strip patching. Regardless of the method used, tire repair will have some impact on the tire's performance and strength. Hence, for safety reasons, it is better to replace the tire rather than opting for a repair.
