If you have a nail in your tire and it's causing a flat, you can follow these steps to address the issue:
- Safety first: Make sure you are in a safe location away from traffic, and turn on your hazard lights to alert other drivers.
- Assess the damage: Determine if the tire is losing air rapidly or if it's still holding air. If it's rapidly deflating, you may need to change the tire with a spare or call roadside assistance.
- Find a repair service: If the tire is holding air, you can drive to a nearby tire repair shop or call a mobile tire repair service like Spark Express. They can help you remove the nail and patch the tire if possible.
- Repair or replace: Depending on the location and size of the puncture, the tire may be repairable. If not, you may need to replace the tire.
Remember to check the tire pressure and monitor the tire's condition after the repair or replacement to ensure it's holding air properly.
