How to Deal with a Nail Puncture in the Tire?
1 Answers
If a tire is punctured by a nail, follow these steps: 1. If you notice the puncture while driving, first find a safe place to pull over. Place a triangular warning sign 50 meters in the direction of oncoming traffic. If on a highway, stop in the emergency lane and place the warning sign 150 meters away. 2. If the nail is not fully embedded and you have a spare tire, you can remove the nail. After removal, pour some water over the punctured area to check for air leaks. If there is no leak, no further action is needed. If there is a leak, replace the spare tire. 3. If the nail is fully embedded, check the tire pressure. If the pressure remains unchanged, you can drive to a 4S shop or repair shop for inspection. Monitor the tire pressure during the drive. 4. If there is severe air leakage and no spare tire is available, contact a repair shop for assistance. Avoid driving directly to the repair shop to prevent damage to the tire or wheel rim.
