Even You Can Change a Flat Tire on the Fly

Nobody looks forward to flat tires, but flats happen. We can help you quickly overcome this challenge and return to your day.

Once you exit your car, place a chock or a rock next to a tire on the side of the car opposite the flat. Gather your tools, including your jack and doughnut spare. Use a lug wrench to loosen the tire's lug nuts.

Compare Spare Tire Sizes

Your passenger car may be equipped with either a compact temporary or a full-size spare tire. Either choice will serve to get you off the road in the event of a flat and to a service station for repair. An SUV or pickup truck, however, must have a full-size spare.
