The unexpected happened and you have a flat tire? Want to know how to replace it? Here are some useful tips to replace the wheel easy and safe.
Modern cars no longer come equipped with a spare wheel, because the manufacturers wanted to reduce the weight of the car and maximize the space in the trunk, and they chose to equip them with a repair kit and RunFlat tires. If you own such a car, it would be necessary to document yourself before, in order to be prepared in case you need to use this kit.
If your car is equipped with a spare wheel, it would be good to practice replacing it at home, just to be prepared in the harshest scenarios (night, rain, cold). Being in a safe place, with a minimum of knowledge and the necessary tools, replacing a wheel should be quite easy.
TIPS FOR YOUR SAFETY:
- Before replacing a wheel, try to find a safe parking space, as far away from ongoing traffic as possible.
- Park the car on a hard / equal surface.
- DO NOT start this procedure if you have passengers in the car. Make sure passengers are away from the car and safe.
- DO NOT work under the car when it is raised on the jack!
- Make sure you have positioned the jack on the lifting stand dedicated to your car. Improper positioning of the jack can lead to collapse, damage to the car or injury.
