Should You Pull Out a Nail from a Tire?

[Earl]

Do not immediately pull out a nail from a tire, as doing so may cause the tire to lose air. Instead, you should promptly drive to a repair shop to have a professional fix the tire. If the nail has punctured the part of the tire that contacts the ground, it can be repaired; however, if the nail has punctured the sidewall, it is advisable to replace the tire entirely, as continuing to use a repaired sidewall poses significant safety risks. After a tire is punctured, the driver should find a safe place to park and replace it with the spare tire. During regular vehicle use, it is important to frequently check the tire pressure and inspect the tire surface for any signs of damage. Additionally, tires should be replaced periodically, typically every four years.
