What to Do When a Nail Punctures Your Car Tire?
1 Answers
Methods for dealing with a nail puncture in a car tire: 1. No Flat: If the tire hasn't gone flat, do not pull the nail out, as the nail may temporarily prevent air leakage. You should quickly locate a tire repair shop and have a professional remove the nail and patch the tire. Avoid driving for extended periods in this condition. 2. Flat Tire: If the tire has gone flat, call the 4S store's rescue service to have professionals come to either repair the tire or replace it with a spare. Do not continue driving, as it poses significant safety risks. 3. Blowout: If the nail puncture causes a blowout, the first and most crucial thing to keep in mind is to stabilize the steering wheel. Especially on highways, a tire blowout can cause the vehicle to veer off course. If the driver panics, it could lead to even more severe consequences. Stabilizing the steering wheel is essential for surviving a high-speed blowout.
