Driving with a small cut on the tire will have an impact. Rubber Strip Plug Repair: If the tire is punctured by a nail but is not losing air, it generally means the nail hasn't penetrated the tire completely, or the nail is temporarily blocking the air leak. In this case, the most effective method is to insert a special rubber strip into the punctured area, commonly known as the "rubber strip plug method." This only takes a few minutes and doesn't require removing the tire from the rim. However, the drawback of this method is that it's not very durable, so the vehicle owner should drive to a repair shop as soon as possible for a proper tire repair. Patch Repair Method: If the tire loses air quickly after being punctured and there's no spare tire available, you can remove the tire, locate the puncture, and apply a special tire repair agent to the inner layer of the tire. The tire repair agent is a non-toxic, odorless, non-flammable, and non-sticky liquid that can both repair the tire and inflate it. When the tire is punctured and loses air, simply connect the repair agent to the tire and press the valve. It will automatically add compressed air to the tire while injecting a white, hairspray-like repair adhesive. However, if the puncture diameter exceeds 6mm, this small tool won't be effective.
