Is it safe to drive with a nail in my tire? No:
The short answer is no, it’s not safe to drive with a nail in your tire. As soon as any kind of foreign object has lodged itself into your tire, the chances of a blowout skyrocket. There’s a chance that the nail has caused a leak in the tire, allowing air to escape. If you’re driving at speed with a tire down on air pressure, that tire could suffer a blowout, causing it to explode and causing you to lose control of the car. On the highway, that could lead to a dangerous crash.
That, of course, is the worst-case scenario. On the flip side, the nail lodged in your tire might not be causing any hurt whatsoever. There’s a chance the nail has lodged itself into the tread such that it’s physically blocking any air from escaping. If this has happened to your tire, it’s unlikely that you’d even notice anything is wrong, because the tire and car are behaving normally.
However, the friendly nail might not stay friendly for long. If the nail shifts position in your tire, it could open up a small gap for air leakage, once again greatly increasing your chances of a blowout. That’s why it’s important that as soon as you notice a nail in your tire, you get the car or tire into a shop to check it out.It’ll most likely present itself to you in an inconvenient way.
