Change Flat Tire With Spare Tire

Hands on start to finish putting the spare tire on to replace a flat tire.
Essential for new drivers.

Make sure you are in a safe place to make the change.
Engage emergency flashers/ warning lights or signals
.
The side of a busy road/freeway/highway is not a safe enough area, if you can, drive to a flat safe area.
If not pull far enough off the road to not be a hazard to moving traffic.

I would recommend making sure you have a all the required tools in your car, today, before you need them.
Check your spare tire as part of a regular tire inspection and maintenance.
Check spare tire air pressure with the other tires.

**If you are unable to complete any step, stop, and get roadside assistance.
