How to Remove a Car Spare Tire?

[LaElliana]

Steps to remove a car spare tire: 1. First, use the onboard tools to remove the anti-theft cover, which is usually a small item and difficult to pull out by hand; 2. Use a socket wrench to gradually loosen the nuts in a diagonal order by turning them counterclockwise. Loosen each screw a few turns before moving to the next one, and avoid fully loosening one screw at a time; 3. Use a jack to align it with the dedicated jack slot on the car chassis and lift the car; 4. Then remove the loosened nuts to take off the tire. Generally, a car comes with a spare tire of the same specifications as the original tires. However, some vehicles may use spare tires with special-colored rims, compact spares, folding spares, or run-flat tires to remind the owner to inspect and replace the faulty tire promptly.
