What are the steps for tire removal?

Tire removal steps are: 1. Check tire issues: Before replacing a tire, identify which tire has a problem; 2. Remove the wheel: First, loosen the wheel fixing bolts with a wrench. There are usually five or six fixing bolts. After loosening, do not remove them immediately. Lift the vehicle to an appropriate height, then remove the bolts and take the wheel off the hub; 3. Prepare for tire removal: Deflate the removed wheel, remove the balance weights on the rim, and then use a tire changer to separate the tire from the rim; 4. Remove the tire with a tire changer: Use the tire changer to separate the tire from the inner edge of the rim. Place the prepared wheel on the tire changer, secure the tire with the changer's clamps, insert a pry bar into the tire gap, and control the wheel's rotation via the foot pedal to separate the tire from the rim. Then remove the tire from the changer; 5. Install the new tire: After removing the old tire, place the new tire onto the rim in the correct direction. Use the same method to secure the partially installed tire on the tire changer, and manually assist the changer's rotation to fit the tire onto the rim; 6. Install the wheel: Mount the wheel with the new tire onto the hub, tighten the bolts, adjust each tire's pressure, reset the tire pressure, and finally conduct a test drive.
