Is it necessary to replace a tubeless tire when it gets punctured by a nail?

[Vernon]

Tubeless tires punctured by nails do not necessarily need to be replaced; it depends on the location of the puncture. If the nail punctures the sidewall of the tubeless tire, it must be replaced, whereas if it punctures the tread area, it can usually be repaired. When a tubeless tire is punctured by a nail, whether it is leaking air or not, it should be addressed promptly. Otherwise, it will not only accelerate the wear and tear of the car tire but also increase the risk of a blowout. Repair method for a tubeless tire punctured by a nail: First, remove the punctured tire, then use a hard object to extract the nail. After removing the nail, apply cold patch glue around the puncture area inside the tire using sandpaper, then wait for 5-7 minutes before applying a large cold patch to the inside of the tire. If you plan to drive on the highway or engage in aggressive driving, it is best to apply two layers of cold patch glue and use two patches. Finally, reinstall the tire, inflate it to the proper pressure, and check for any air leaks. If there are no leaks, the tire is safe to continue driving.
