Flat Tyre? Easy Steps to Change a Tyre in Minutes
If your car's tire gets a flat, find a safe spot and turn on your hazard lights.
Then, get your spare tire, jack, and wrench from the car.
Loosen the nuts on the flat tire, lift the car with the jack, remove the flat tire, and put the spare tire on.
Tighten the nuts.
Finally, check the spare tire's air pressure.
If you can't fix it, use a tyre inflator or sealant for a temporary fix.
Prioritize safety by pulling over in a secure location and activating hazard lights.
Gather necessary tools: a spare tire, jack, and wheel wrench, typically found in the vehicle's boot.
Loosen the lug nuts on the flat tire using the wrench, but do not remove them completely at this stage.
Position the jack near the flat tire, lift the vehicle until the tire is off the ground, then remove the flat tire.
Install the spare tire, tighten the lug nuts, and check the spare tire's pressure before driving.
