Catching a self-tapping screw on the road is a normal phenomenon.  As a rule, the tire slowly but surely begins to poison the air, forcing the car owner to visit a tire store.  However, it also happens that the band does not get lower.  The AvtoVzglyad portal found out what threatens it with further driving. 
The fact remains: sooner or later a tire hit by a screw or a nail will deflate.  Q: sooner or later?  A tire can be squashed in a few hours as well as in a few days.
However, there are many cases when drivers, unaware of the presence of an “awl” in the rim, roll out on a car for almost years.  Yes, without breaking the tightness, the screw should not irritate the car owner for a long time.  However, you should not make fun of your own safety and that of other road users.
 
 
If the car enters a hole with a sharp metal object in the tire or hits a treacherous bump, a foreign object can immediately change position in the “rubber”.  And as a result, the pressure will drop at lightning speed, and with speed such a “surprise” can cause a serious accident.
Therefore, before the trip, check the tires for damage and at the same time check the pressure with a special pressure gauge.  If it is suspected that one of the wheels has been inflated harder than the other, do not delay a visit to a tire shop.
First of all, as mentioned before, a stuck screw under mechanical action can break the density and turn it into a time bomb.  How fast the car will be “on the rims” is only a matter of time.
