Is it a problem if a car tire is punctured by a nail but not leaking air?

If a car tire is punctured by a nail but not leaking air, it still requires immediate repair. Do not assume that there is no problem just because the nail puncture is not causing air leakage. The nail could come loose at any time, and if it does, the tire will start to lose air. During the repair process, the nail must be removed and the puncture fixed. Tires are a crucial component of a car, being the only part that comes into contact with the ground. Since tires are made of rubber, it is normal for them to get punctured by sharp metal objects while driving daily. If a tire is punctured, simply take it to a professional repair shop for a fix.
