Why does the right rear tire frequently get punctured by nails?
1 Answers
The main reason why the right rear tire frequently gets punctured by nails is related to the characteristics of nails. Generally, items like nails and broken glass lie flat on the ground, and the front tire's pressure won't puncture the tire. However, after the front tire passes over them, the sharp ends of the nails or broken glass can be lifted, making it easy for the rear tire to get punctured when it rolls over them. Solutions for a punctured tire: First, check the tire pressure to see if there's any air leakage. If there is, pull over, replace the tire with the spare, or call for roadside assistance. If there's no air leakage, do not remove the nail immediately. Instead, slow down and drive carefully to the nearest repair shop. A professional can then remove the nail, inspect, repair, or replace the tire. Methods to prevent tire punctures: Choose clean road surfaces and avoid driving on bumpy roads or near the edges of the road, where nails, pebbles, and other debris tend to accumulate. Reduce your speed. At higher speeds, nails and broken glass are more likely to be kicked up. Driving at lower speeds can effectively reduce the chance of a puncture. Regularly check tire pressure. Insufficient tire pressure makes the tire more susceptible to punctures.
