Should the Nail Puncturing the Tire Be Removed?
1 Answers
Tire punctured by a nail but not leaking air is not recommended to pull out. Because if the nail has already pierced the tire, pulling it out will cause severe air leakage, making the vehicle unable to continue driving; moreover, if the tire pressure is high, removing the nail might even lead to a tire blowout. The correct approach is as follows: 1. If driving normally, proceed at low speed to the nearest repair shop, then remove the nail and check whether the tire is punctured and leaking air. 2. If there is air leakage, you can directly proceed with repair or replacement, which is safer. Note: Many cars now use vacuum tires. If the tire is punctured by a nail, the air leakage will be very slow, providing sufficient time to drive the vehicle to the repair shop for inspection.
