Is it clockwise or counterclockwise to remove a tire?

[Howard]

For small cars, removing a tire is counterclockwise. Here are the precautions before changing a tire: 1. Before changing a tire, first park the car in a relatively safe and flat place. Then tighten the parking brake. 2. Put the gear in the parking position and turn the ignition switch to the "lock" position. Turn on the "hazard lights" and place a triangular warning sign far enough away from the car. 3. Next, check the jack, tool kit, and spare tire that come with the car. Depending on the model, the spare tire is usually placed: under the trunk floor, hung under the rear of the car, or fixed outside the trunk door. For SUV models, the spare tire is mostly hung under the rear of the car or fixed outside the trunk door.
