Remove the hub cap (if you have one); loosen and remove the lug nuts. Jack up the car, and take the flat tire off. Put the spare on and put the lug nuts on. Be sure to tighten the lug nuts alternately, so that the tire goes on straight. Lower the car until the spare just touches the ground but isn't bearing any weight. Tighten the lug nuts, lower the car all the way, and replace the hub cap.
Nuttin' to it ;-)How to change a car tyre?What is a 'tyre'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!How to change a car tyre?There are some subtle differences but basically they are all the same. If you have hubcaps, first remove it. Take the lug wrench and loosen all of the lug nuts. Don't take them off, but just break them loose for now. Once this is done, then jack up the car until the tyre is clear of the ground. Now take off all of the lug nuts and remove the tyre. Place the spare on the lugs and start the lug nuts back on. Get them at least snugged up hand tight. You may use the lug wrench to slightly tighten them. Now jack the car back down and then tighten the lug nuts fully. If you have 5 lugs on the wheel, start with one and then skip one and tighten the next one, skip one and tighten the next one, skip one, tighten one, and so forth until all 5 are tight. Put the old tyre in the trunk with the jack, replace the hub cap if you have put on a full size spare, if you have one of the mini spares then put the hub cap in the trunk with the rest of the stuff. And you are on your way.
It is a good idea to have someone who is familar with the process watch you do the first one and to make sure you are doing it correct. Then should you actually have to do it, you will have had the training. good luck.How to change a car tyre?1 loosen the nuts
2 jack up the tire
3 unscrew the nuts completly and take off the flat tire
4 put the new tire on and screw the nuts altenative
5 lower the jack and remove it, then tighten the nuts pretty hard (but not too hard, especialy if you have alloys)How to change a car tyre?If you are able to loosen the nuts then here is the drill:
1. Ideally the car should be parked on a hard, level surface, off the roadway. Don't try jacking up your car on a slope. It won't work. If on soft ground put a paver or block of wood under the jack but be careful and never go under the car.
2. Get everyone out of the car. Make sure the ignition is off. Put the handbrake on and put the car in gear.
3. Remove the wheel cover and loosen the wheel nuts.
4. Place the spare tire nearby and under the car. This will help prevent damage if the jack collapses.
5. Place your jack in position and jack up the car until it's high enough to take the wheel off and to put one with an inflated tire on. Know your jack. There are various types and they are used in various ways. This is something you should know about in advance.
6. Take off the wheel nuts. A cross-armed wheel brace is best. Put the nuts in the wheel cover so you don't lose them, especially if it's dark.
7. Take off the wheel gently.
8. Put the spare tire on firmly in place and hand tighten the nuts back on.
9. Tighten the nuts a little with the wheel brace.
10. Lower the car, remove the jack and fully tighten the wheel nuts.
11. Snap the wheel cover back on and put the faulty tire, jack, brace and screwdriver back in the trunk.
When you drive away with that nice feeling of successful achievement and suddenly the steering starts to wobble, don't worry. It's probably because your spare tire has not been properly balanced. You can get it done when you get your puncture fixed.
Spare tires are usually neglected things. They sit forgotten in people's trunks for ages. It's only when there is an emergency that people remember them. In fact, whenever you are having a tire change and balance, it's a good idea to include your spare tire in the treatment.
A couple more tire tips:
If you find a nail or something in your tire, don't pull it out. This may quickly deflate your tire. The tire may run for ages with the nail in it but when you have time take it for a check-up.
If you have one of those teasingly slow punctures, you may not have to change the wheel. Try pumping some air into it and maybe it will get you home or to a service station.
