change Mazda tires 2021

Don’t worry if you get a flat tire. Make your way to the side of the road or other location away from traffic immediately, put the car in PARK, put the emergency brake in place, turn on the hazard lights, and turn off the engine.

Here are the next steps:

Access your tire-changing kit and spread out the tools in the designated work area. Using your tire iron or other tool if included, remove the rim covering, (hubcap) to expose the rim and lug nuts, which hold the wheel on the axle. Use the tire iron to loosen the lug nuts but do not remove them completely.

Once you’ve loosened the lugnuts, place the jack in the location indicated by the instructions. Then, use the jack to raise the vehicle until the wheel is just off the ground, a few inches is enough. Remove the lugnuts and be sure to place them in a bag or other container to keep them from rolling away or being misplaced.

Lift the wheel of the axle and replace it with the spare tire. Screw the lugnuts back on but do not tighten them all the way, just enough to keep the spare tire in place.

Next, use the jack to lower the vehicle until the spare tire rests on the ground. Finally, tighten the lugnuts using the tire iron and that’s it. You have successfully changed a tire. Stow your damaged wheel and drive slowly and carefully to a facility where you can repair or replace your tire. We hope this video will help prepare you for when you get a flat tire. Stay safe out there!
