Damage caused by foreign bodies |
Driving over hard, pointed objects like nails, screws and the like can pierce the tyre. |
This always leads to tyre damage. |
Often, the object is so securely embedded in the tyre that it will not free itself even at higher speeds. It can then act as a plug and seal the tyre relatively well. This results in a gradual loss of pressure, which the driver will not notice immediately, but which can lead to sudden and complete tyre failure. |
