Change tire in 9 steps

Changing a tire can be a simple process if you follow the proper steps. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to change a tire:

1. Find a safe location to change the tire: If you have a flat tire, try to pull over to a safe location, away from traffic, and on level ground. Turn on your hazard lights and engage your parking brake.

2. Gather the necessary tools: You'll need a spare tire, a lug wrench, and a jack. These should be located in your car's trunk. Some cars may have a hubcap that needs to be removed before you can access the lug nuts, so you may also need a flathead screwdriver or a pry bar.

3. Loosen the lug nuts: Using the lug wrench, turn each lug nut counterclockwise to loosen it. Do not remove the lug nuts at this stage.

4. Lift the car with the jack: Refer to your car owner's manual to locate the proper jacking points on your vehicle. Place the jack under the car and begin to pump it until the car is raised enough to remove the tire.

5. Remove the lug nuts and flat tire: Use the lug wrench to fully remove the lug nuts and set them aside. Gently pull the flat tire off the hub and set it aside.

6. Install the spare tire: Line up the spare tire with the hub and gently push it onto the hub. Thread on the lug nuts by hand and tighten them as much as possible.

7. Lower the car and tighten the lug nuts: Lower the car using the jack and remove it. Use the lug wrench to fully tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern, meaning tightening one nut, then the nut directly across from it, and so on.

8. Check the tire pressure: Check the tire pressure of the spare tire and inflate it to the recommended pressure if necessary.

9. Replace the hubcap: If your car has a hubcap, replace it and make sure it's securely in place.

And that's it! You're ready to hit the road again. Just remember to get your flat tire repaired or replaced as soon as possible, and don't drive on your spare tire for too long, as it's not designed for long-term use.

For smaller jobs, such as switching out a tire or jumpstarting your car, you may tip them around five dollars. It's not too much or too little and shows your appreciation for a job well done. For bigger jobs, like big towing runs or a late-night service, a tip anywhere from $10 to $15 will do.

If you’re on the side of the road, you’ll need to exercise caution. Follow these tips to move to safety and stay out of the danger of traffic, remaining as safe as possible.

1. Take action immediately: If you notice car trouble, start moving over the right way. If you wait too long, your car may stop moving before you’re able to get off of the road.

2. Get as far off the road as possible: If you’re experiencing an emergency while driving, the most important thing you can do is get to a safe place.

3. Warn others you’re having trouble: Turn on your hazard lights, and if you have safety cones, signs, flares, triangles, or a light, use those as well to increase your visibility. If you’re stopped at night, be sure to leave your lights on. You can also pop your hood to show others you’re having car trouble.

4. Call for roadside assistance: If you have roadside assistance through your insurance, cell phone carrier, or roadside club, give them a call immediately. They are typically available 24/7 with fast service that will take you to the nearest vehicle repair location.

5. Don’t exit your car until it’s safe: If you’re having an emergency, you may feel panicked and want to investigate the situation immediately. But be careful about getting out of your car, especially if you’re still near traffic. Get out of your car through the passenger side if there’s traffic on the driver side. And of course, look for traffic before you open your door.

6. Remember you’re in traffic: If you’re on the shoulder, keep in mind you and your car are not protected by the thin white line that separates you from the other cars speeding past on the freeway. All it takes is a distraction or wind to have a vehicle drift over into the shoulder, hitting your car. You should also take care to keep your distance from the flow of traffic. If you can’t perform your own roadside repairs safely, it is best to remain in the vehicle with your seat belt on and doors locked. Don’t stand behind or next to your vehicle.
