| Damage due to embedded foreign body |
| Often, the object -marking- is so securely embedded in the tyre that it will not free itself even at higher speeds. Consequently, it can 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. |
Note | No repair should be attempted on a steel-belted tyre of which the structure has been punctured by a foreign body. |
