Car Flat Tire Repair

Follow your owners manual to remove a tire from your car. Below was my experience.

Take time to become familiar with your spare tire, jack, and lug wrench tools in your car before you need them.

You have flat tire on the road? Find a safe/secure place to pull over, and replace your flat tire. This may mean ruining a tire.
