Should a New BMW Tire with a Nail Be Replaced?
1 Answers
A new BMW tire with a nail should be replaced, and it is recommended to replace two tires. Tire Replacement Method: Park the car in a safe area, ensure the handbrake is engaged, place wheel chocks in front of the front wheels or behind the rear wheels to prevent slipping, turn on the hazard lights, and set up a warning sign. Retrieve the spare tire and tire-changing tools, and prepare to replace the tire. First, position the jack on the chassis support bracket, and use the wrench to loosen the lug nuts on the rim in a diagonal pattern—do not remove them completely. If hand strength is insufficient, you can step on the wrench with one foot, using your body weight to loosen the tightly fastened nuts. Hook the jack onto the support and attach the wrench to the end of the support for better leverage. Rotate the wrench clockwise to raise the tire off the ground, ensuring there is enough space to fit the properly inflated spare tire. Place the spare tire under the car as a precaution in case the vehicle suddenly drops. Ensure the jack is properly secured to avoid damaging the car. Note: If lifting the car on soft or slippery ground, place a non-slip mat under the jack to prevent sinking or slipping, which could cause an accident. Install the spare tire, ensuring the lug nuts are correctly positioned, and tighten them evenly in a diagonal pattern using the wrench. Once the nuts are tightened, slowly lower the jack. Tire Replacement Cycle: The replacement interval for tires depends on factors such as tire brand, quality, driving conditions, and driving style, typically ranging between 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers.
