4 Things You Should Never Do When Changing A Tyre

Changing a flat tyre on the roadway is something no one wants to do. It is an unpleasant task at best and can actually be quite dangerous.
Thankfully, most flat tyres don’t result in accidents or injuries. But even simple tire changes can ruin your day. To make the process as safe and smooth as possible, here are three things you should never do when changing a flat tyre.

1. Wait until you have a flat before you check your spare

Many drivers have no idea how to remove their spare tyre or where to find the jack. At night on a deserted road is not the time to figure it out. Because the location and type of spare tyre differs from one vehicle to the next, if you aren't familiar with your vehicle it's a good idea to check out the spare (and the jack and lug wrench) before trouble occurs. While you're at it, make sure the spare has enough air in it and continue to check that periodically.

2.Change a flat in an unsafe location

If you can’t find a parking lot or safe area to pull into, try getting as far off the roadway as possible. Trying to change a tyre on a roadside with traffic zipping past just a few feet away is dangerous. It is better to end up replacing a damaged tyre from driving while it is flat than to be hit by another vehicle.

3.Forget to block the tyre

When you start to jack up a vehicle, its weight and center of gravity shift. As a result, it can roll forward, backward, or even slide off of the jack. When changing a tire, always set the emergency brake and block the tyres with rocks or blocks to keep the vehicle from rolling. Typically, you’ll want to block the tyre opposite of the flat tire. In other words, if the left front tyre is flat, place a brick, rock, or other large, heavy object behind the right rear tire.

4. Raise the car without taking out the spare

Spares are heavy so you don’t want to lift it any higher than necessary. You also don’t want to lean across a jacked-up car to get the spare out of the trunk or hatch. Roll the spare tire next to the wheel you are replacing.

Once you’ve successfully changed your tyre, you should take your vehicle to an experienced tyre service center. Many spare tyres are not meant for prolonged use, so you need to get the flat tyre fixed or replaced as quickly as possible. Flat tyres can also sometimes cause other damage so having the car checked by a qualified tyre expert makes sense.

IS IT WORTH GETTING AN IMPACT WRENCH?

It can be said their main use is for bolting and unbolting screws easily, which makes an impact wrench ideal for putting up garden decking, removing wheels and other similar projects. It can also be a good idea to keep one in your garage or car. Out on the road, you’re unlikely to have an air compressor – so an impact wrench can help if you need to change your vehicle tyres.
