Why doesn't a car tire leak air when punctured by a nail?
1 Answers
There are several reasons why a car tire doesn't leak air when punctured by a nail: 1. The nail didn't penetrate completely; 2. If the nail penetrated the tire's tread (on a tubeless tire), leaving the nail in place may prevent or slow air leakage; 3. The nail punctured the tire's sidewall. The solution is simple: if there's no air leakage, just remove the nail with pliers. Car tires are crucial components that directly contact the road surface, working with the suspension system to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth operation. Their primary functions include maintaining good road grip, improving traction, braking performance, and vehicle maneuverability.
