Here are the steps to handle a tire punctured by a nail: 1. Slow leak: Since the tire is a tubeless tire, puncturing it with a nail won't cause immediate air loss. However, the air will slowly leak over time, so do not remove the nail on your own. Removing it could lead to a larger leak, making the car undrivable. The driver should drive slowly to a repair location for servicing. 2. Fast leak: Stop driving the car immediately and wait for a tire replacement on the spot. Forcing the car to move could completely ruin the tire and pose significant dangers. If a tire gets punctured by a nail on a highway, seek roadside assistance immediately.

I just encountered this situation last week! I was in a hurry to pick up my kids when I suddenly heard a rhythmic 'ticking' sound. I immediately pulled over, turned on the hazard lights, and used an electric air pump from the trunk to check the tire pressure. I found that the left front tire had dropped to 1.8 bar. Guys, never force yourself to keep driving! I once saw my neighbor grind through the sidewall, ruining the entire tire and costing an extra 800 yuan. Tire sealant can only last for about 30 kilometers. When I drove to the nearest repair shop, I found out it was a U-shaped nail puncture. The mechanic said this type of puncture requires an internal patch—just plugging it with a rubber strip can easily lead to air leaks. I recommend always keeping a tire pressure gauge and a small air pump in your car. In the city, waiting for roadside assistance takes too long, and you can handle emergencies yourself.
