Types of tyre punctures
These are two of the most common types of punctures:
Slow puncture:
One sign can be the TPMS warning light (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) showing on the vehicle’s dashboard.
As soon as the light appears you should take your car to a professional workshop for a tyre inspection.
Quite often the pressure loss is caused by a small, sharp object stuck in the tyre. Another reason can be a leaking valve or the tyres bead.
Rapid puncture:
This type of puncture is pretty obvious to find out, as it significantly affects the handling and stability of the car. The tyre pressure is depleting extremely fast. The vehicle must be stopped immediately. This sort of puncture is usually caused by sharp objects like nails, screws, sharp pieces of glass etc.
