How To Change a Tyre

Posted November 24, 2009 in Tyres. by Melissa Pye

Even the most careful drivers will experience a flat tyre at some stage. Given most of us don't change one every often, it can sometimes be a bit daunting. If you're not comfortable with doing it yourself, motoring organisations in each state such as RACV, RACQ, RAA, RACT, Royal Automobile Club of WA and NRMA will change a flat tyre for you. 

Here's a basic run down if you'd like to give it a go yourself.

Note: Always follow the instructions in your owner's manual and make sure the jack is on firm ground before jacking up your car.

1. Apply handbrake & chock wheel on opposite side of the car

2. Place the jack under your car near the wheel to be replaced

3. Loosen wheel nuts with socket wrench

4. Jack the car up until the wheel is clear from the ground

5. Undo wheel nuts with socket wrench or other appropriate tool

6. Remove wheel and replace with spare wheel

7. Screw wheel nuts back on firmly

8. Lower jack and tighten wheel nuts
