When Tires Go Flat: Are You Ready to Roll?
Summary:
In today's world, a flat tire usually means calling for roadside assistance with your phone. However, there may be times when that's not an option, and you'll need to handle the situation yourself. Being prepared to change a tire can save you time, stress, and keep you safe. Here's how you can ensure you're ready.Be Prepared
Practice Makes Perfect
Before you find yourself on the roadside, practice changing a tire in a safe location like your driveway. Familiarize yourself with the steps during the day and then try it at night. This way, you'll be well-prepared for any situation.Essential Equipment
Keep the following items in your vehicle:- A properly inflated spare tire
- Car jack
- Brick or wheel chock (to secure the car)
- Cross wrench
- Air pressure gauge
- Flashlight and clip-mounted light
- Road flares
Consider also having:
- Extra lug nuts
- WD-40
- Work gloves
Store these in a single bag in your trunk for easy access.
Safety First
If you experience a blowout, aim to move to a safe, visible area away from traffic. If you're on a curve, try to reach a straight stretch of road so other drivers can see you from a distance.Stay Visible
Turn on your headlights and hazard lights. Set up road flares at a safe distance to alert oncoming traffic and give them time to adjust.Changing the Tire
Prepare
Organize all your tools next to the affected tire. If you've stored everything in one container, it will make this easier and prevent dropping items in the dark.Follow Your Practice
Change the tire as you practiced, staying alert to the surrounding traffic. Be ready to move safely away from passing vehicles if needed.After the Change
Once you've changed the tire, remember that most spare tires are temporary. Drive cautiously, keeping your speed below 50 miles per hour, and head to the nearest shop to repair or replace your original tire.
