The first step to changing a tire after you are safetly of the road way is to put your car in park and turn the car off. The next thing you would do is find the spare tire, jack, and lug wrench. These items are usually under the carpet in the trunk, or on a truck, under the truck bed. Youwould then figure out where exactly to out the jack to jack up your car. There should be instructions right on it. It is not time to jack up the car yet though, you should just know where you are going to be putting it. You would then remove the hubcap wheel cover by prying it off with the flat end of the lug wrench. Then you would loosen the lug nuts but don't remove them completely because you want the tire still on the vehicle when you jack it up. Remember: Lefty loosy, righty tighty. You now want to jack the car up. Be careful to place the jack exactly where the car manufacturer has said to put it because in that particular spot it is reinforced to support the weight. Make sure that car is stable when jacking it p and never go under the car when it is solely held up by the jack. Now remove the lug nuts and the tire. Place the lug nuts somewhere where they won't get lost. Put the replacement tire on the car by lining up the wheel studs. Next you should put the pug nuts back on but just so they are secure, don't tighten them all the way. let the car gently back onto the ground from the jack and finish tightening the lug nuts in the correct sequence. (This depends on how many lug nuts you have). Finally, you replace the hubcap and clean up all the tools that you used putting them back to where you got them so they will be accessable when you need them next.


I didn't actually get a chance to change a tire on my car.
