Changing a flat tire is simpler than you may think. It is important to know where to locate the spare tire, jack, and tool kit for changing your tire before driving your car. Here is a step-by-step guide to changing a flat tire:
1. Jack up your car just high enough to clear the ground (your owners manual can help you with how to use your specific jack).
2. Remove the lug nuts with the socket wrench. Be sure not to lose any of these while changing your tire, you will need them to fasten on the spare tire.
3. Take the wheel cover off, then remove the flat tire.
4. Place the spare tire on along with the wheel cover (if needed), and the lug nuts.
5. Tighten the lug nuts as tight as you can.
6. Lower the car to the ground.
7. Place the flat tire where the spare tire was stored, and drive straight to an auto repair shop to have them fix your tire.
