How to Repair a Tire Punctured by a Nail

[McVincent]

Tire puncture repair methods: 1. No obvious air leakage: If you find a nail in the tire and there is no obvious air leakage, do not remove the nail yourself. First, use saliva to check whether there is air leakage at the puncture site. Since the tire is a tubeless tire, it will not leak air immediately after being punctured by a nail. The driver should drive to a repair shop as soon as possible and have the mechanic remove the nail. If the tire does not leak air, it means the puncture has not gone all the way through, and no repair is needed. This is because the tire tread is very thick and has an inner liner layer. Just pay more attention to measuring the tire pressure while driving. 2. Rapid air leakage: If the tire leaks air quickly after being punctured by a nail, it means the puncture has gone all the way through. If you are close to a nearby repair shop, you can first use a car air pump to inflate the tire and then drive to the repair shop. If the tire leaks air very quickly, do not continue driving, as this can cause significant damage to the tire. It is safer to replace it with a spare tire as soon as possible and then drive to the repair shop.
