How to Change a Car's Spare Tire?
1 Answers
Here are the steps to change a spare tire: 1. To change the car's spare tire, prepare a jack, wrench, and the spare tire. 2. Use the jack to lift the car and remove the tire bolts with the wrench. 3. After all bolts are removed, take off the tire and replace it with the spare. 4. Tighten all the tire bolts as they were originally, then remove the jack. Notes on using a spare tire: 1. Regularly check the spare tire, mainly for tire pressure, wear, and cracks. Replace the tire before the tread wears down to the wear indicator line. If there are small cracks on the tire sidewall, avoid long-distance or high-speed driving as the sidewall is thinner and prone to blowouts at high speeds. 2. Do not store oil products with the spare tire. Tires are mainly made of rubber, which is vulnerable to erosion by various oils. If the tire gets oil-stained, wash it off promptly with a neutral detergent. 3. Tires are rubber products and will age over time. Generally, the aging period for tires is about 4 years, so the spare tire should be replaced after 4 years.
