Have you ever changed a flat tire?

It’s been a really long time since I learned how to change a tire.  I am incredibly lucky because I *knock on wood* haven’t gotten a flat tire while driving down the road so I haven’t had the opportunity to practice.  (The only time I’ve had a flat tire, I found it before I got in my car.)  I’m not sure I’d remember the step-by-step process of changing a tire and, in all honesty, I’d probably just call roadside assistance.  But I think knowing how to change a tire is smart.

Luckily, my husband does remember those steps and was willing to share, in great detail, the task.

How to Change a Flat Tire: 

• Find a safe spot to pull over.
• Gather your tools.
• Loosen the lug nuts.
• Lift the vehicle off the ground with a jack.
• Remove the lug nuts & tire.
• Put the spare tire on.
• Bring the car down.
• Tighten the lug nuts.
• Put your tools back in the car.
