Is it serious if a tire is punctured by a small nail?

Tire punctured by a small nail is serious. If the puncture is on the tread, you can replace it with the spare tire and get it repaired in time. However, if the puncture is on the sidewall, the tire needs to be replaced. The rubber on the sidewall is very thin and prone to blowouts from the damaged area, and it cannot be repaired because repairing requires grinding away some rubber, making it even thinner. Most repair shops do not repair tire sidewalls. Here is some relevant information about tires: 1. Tire lifespan: The wear life of a tire is 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers. If the tire has not reached the wear limit or mileage but has been in use for 5 years or has developed a large number of cracks on the sidewall, it needs to be replaced. 2. Tire material: The main component of a tire is rubber. The maximum storage and anti-aging time for rubber, from natural latex to EPDM and nitrile, does not exceed 10 years. The average service life of various rubber products in use is 3-5 years.

What are the self-rescue methods when a motor vehicle accidentally falls into water?

Here is an introduction to the self-rescue methods when a motor vehicle accidentally falls into water: 1. When the vehicle door cannot be opened after the motor vehicle accidentally falls into water, the self-rescue method is to break the glass to allow water to enter the cabin. This balances the pressure inside and outside the cabin, making it easier to open the driver's door. Once the door is opened, you can enter the water and easily swim to the surface, avoiding danger. 2. When a motor vehicle accidentally falls into water, the water pressure is greater than the air pressure inside the cabin. Therefore, the driver's door cannot be opened. Only when the pressure inside and outside the cabin is equal can the door be opened. The only method at this time is to use a hammer to break the glass and allow water to enter. Hence, it is advisable to keep such tools handy in the cabin for emergencies.
