With a small nail in a tubeless tire, you can drive for many days before you notice that the tire is flat.
It is very important to determine in time that a tire has been punctured. While driving, pay attention to the behavior of the car: if it has become difficult to accelerate, the effort on the steering wheel has increased when maneuvering, or the directional stability has worsened, be sure to check the tire pressure.
The easiest way to repair a wheel is to go to the nearest tire shop, where the repair will be done quickly, professionally and, as a rule, at a very affordable price.
Warning! Do not try to get to a tire shop on a completely flat tire: just drive a few dozen meters and you will have to throw the tire away.
The damaged wheel needs to be replaced with the spare one. This is a fairly simple operation, but it does require some skill.
If you have a flat tire, turn on the hazard warning lights, brake smoothly to 2-3 km/h, try to carefully move to the edge of the roadway in first gear and stop as far to the right as possible at the shoulder, and if possible, outside the roadway. If road conditions allow and it does not contradict the requirements of the Road Traffic Regulations, if you have a flat tire on the right side of the car, pull over to the right shoulder, if you have a flat tire on the left, pull over to the left. Try not to stop the car in places where the road is poorly visible: on sharp turns, on descents and ascents, bridges, in tunnels. If the car remains on the roadway, first of all ensure your own safety and the safety of other road users! Turn on the hazard warning lights and install an emergency stop sign.
