Position the jack under the frame near the flat tire and raise it until it supports (but does not lift) the car.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Now secure the wrench onto the tire&#8217;s lug nuts and turn it counterclockwise to loosen them one by one. Make sure each nut is just loose enough and not removed from the tire.<\/li><li>Next, pump or crank the jack to lift the entire tire off the ground. And then remove the nuts altogether to release the tire.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Now, place the spare tire on the hub and align its rim with the wheel bolts to put on the lug nuts.<\/li><li>Tighten the lug nuts by your hand until they are all snug. Then lower the car without applying total weight on the tire. Tighten the nuts as much as possible.<\/li><li>Next, lower the car to the ground fully and remove the jack. Finish tightening the nuts.<\/li><li>You can put the flat tire in your trunk and take it to a mechanic or service center later.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/186\/2022\/05\/26130348\/Flat-tire-of-a-car_b.jpg\" alt=\"A car's flat tire on the road\" class=\"wp-image-1122\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/186\/2022\/05\/26130348\/Flat-tire-of-a-car_b.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/186\/2022\/05\/26130348\/Flat-tire-of-a-car_b-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/186\/2022\/05\/26130340\/Replacing-the-tire-of-a-car_b.jpg\" alt=\"A tire of a car being replaced on the road\" class=\"wp-image-1120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/186\/2022\/05\/26130340\/Replacing-the-tire-of-a-car_b.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/186\/2022\/05\/26130340\/Replacing-the-tire-of-a-car_b-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.steelehonda.com\/blog\/what-to-do-if-your-car-is-recalled\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">What to Do If Your Car Is Recalled?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember these simple steps, and you will have a worry-free drive.
