MechanicB+FollowScrew in Your Tire? Don’t Yank It Just Yet 🔩🚫Spotting a screw stuck in your tire is stressful — but before you do anything, don’t pull it out right away. That screw might actually be sealing the hole and keeping your tire from going flat. The best thing to do is wait until you’re ready to plug the tire. Grab a tire repair kit (they’re pretty affordable), which usually includes plugs, a rasp tool, and an insertion needle. Once you have everything ready, then remove the screw and plug the hole. Just keep in mind: a plug is only a temporary fix. You’ll still need to take your car to a shop and get the tire professionally repaired or replaced for long-term safety. Ever pulled a screw out too soon and regretted it? Let’s hear your story. #FlatTireFix #ScrewInTire #CarMaintenanceTips #DIYCarCare #TireRepair14Share
