What kind of nail is used for deliberate tire puncturing?
2 Answers
Deliberate tire puncturing generally involves the use of four-corner tire spikes, a tool typically employed by traffic police in extreme situations to intercept illegal vehicles. Additional extended information is as follows: 1. Overview: Automotive tires are one of the crucial components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface and working in conjunction with the suspension system to mitigate shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth operation. 2. Function: They ensure excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; enhance the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capabilities; and bear the weight of the vehicle. The significant role tires play in automobiles is increasingly being recognized by people.
Deliberate tire puncturing is indeed a serious issue, but we should also discuss cases where tires are damaged by foreign objects. In auto repair shops, we often encountered car owners complaining about air leaks, mostly caused by nails or screws. The most troublesome are those small-headed but long-bodied self-tapping screws, as they easily penetrate tire treads, puncture the inner tube, and are hard to detect. In comparison, ordinary thumbtacks or short nails are more likely to be squeezed out by the tire surface. Of course, with today's radial tires, even diagonally embedded glass fragments can cause slow leaks. What I want to emphasize is that tire safety directly affects driving safety, and no one should intentionally damage tires under any circumstances. If you encounter malicious tire puncturing, remember to report it to the police.
