Is it clockwise or counterclockwise to remove a tire?

[AdalynnLee]

For passenger cars, the lug nuts are loosened in a counterclockwise direction. For large trucks, the lug nuts on the left and right sides are different: the left side uses reverse threads, while the right side uses standard threads. Here are some precautions for changing tires: 1. When removing the tire, pay attention to the direction of force applied to the lug nuts—counterclockwise to loosen and clockwise to tighten. Then, be careful when using the jack. Make sure to place the jack in the designated slots on both sides of the vehicle's undercarriage to avoid accidents. 2. Before changing the tire, always inspect the replacement tire to ensure it is in good condition. A quick check can help prevent unnecessary safety hazards. 3. When changing the tire, follow the correct sequence. Do not tighten the lug nuts in a clockwise or counterclockwise order; instead, use a crisscross pattern. If the tire is secured with five lug nuts, first tighten four in a diagonal sequence, then install the fifth. Also, try to tighten each lug nut the same number of turns to ensure even force distribution.
