Should a Tire with a Nail Puncture but No Air Leak Be Repaired?

[ElijahFitz]

Tire with a Nail Puncture but No Air Leak: Whether it needs repair depends on the location of the puncture. If the nail has punctured the tire sidewall, regardless of whether there is an air leak, repairing it may still pose safety risks. It is recommended to replace the tire directly, as the sidewall is the most vulnerable part of the tire, and damage here can lead to a blowout hazard. For personal safety, replacing the tire is the best way to eliminate potential risks. If the puncture is in the tread, you should take it to a repair shop for inspection. After removing the nail, check for air leaks. If there is no air leak, no repair is needed; if there is a leak, a repair will suffice. Car tires are one of the most important components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface and working together with the suspension system to absorb shocks during driving.
