What to Do When a Nail Punctures the Tire?

[StLogan]

The approach to handling a nail puncture in a tire varies depending on the situation: 1. If the nail is stuck in the tire tread, simply remove it; 2. If the nail has penetrated the tire but not punctured through, and there is no air leakage, use pliers to pull it out; 3. If the nail has punctured through the tire tread, continuing to drive will exacerbate the damage to the tire, so replace it with the spare tire promptly; 4. If the nail has punctured the tire sidewall, reduce speed and drive to the nearest location to purchase and replace a new tire. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery for ground rolling. Their functions include: 1. Direct contact with the road surface, working together with the vehicle suspension to mitigate shocks during driving; 2. Ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving; 3. Providing excellent traction for the wheels on the road surface.
