Nail in Tyre: Should I Pull It Out?
No. The nail is often plugging the hole. Pulling it out can turn a slow leak into a flat. Check the pressure and get it looked at.
When Can It Be Repaired?
Under British Standard BS AU 159, repairs are allowed in the central three-quarters of the tread, for holes up to 6mm, provided there is no internal damage from running flat.
When It Needs Replacing
Damage in the shoulder or sidewall, more than one repair close together, or internal damage from running on low pressure.
