What is the method for replacing tires?

Replacing tires involves the following steps: 1. Use a jack to lift the vehicle to a certain height; 2. Remove the screws and take off the tire; 3. Install the new tire and lower the jack. Methods for maintaining car tires include: 1. Regularly check tire pressure; 2. Clear debris from the tire treads; 3. Inspect tire wear and replace them promptly based on wear conditions; 4. Perform tire rotation to ensure even force distribution across all four tires and prevent excessive wear. Precautions for tire replacement are: 1. The new tire must match the one on the same axle; 2. Replace the valve stem when changing tires; 3. Tire pressure should not exceed 2.8 bar; 4. Avoid sudden braking after installing new tires.
Last time I had a flat tire in the suburbs, I changed the spare tire myself and found it wasn't as difficult as I imagined. First, find a level ground to park the car securely, engage the handbrake and turn on the hazard lights. Remember to place a warning triangle 50 meters behind the car. Take out the jack and wrench from the trunk, and loosen each screw of the flat tire by half a turn—don't remove them completely. Position the jack under the raised part of the side rail of the chassis and slowly lift it until the tire is off the ground. Now you can fully remove the screws and take off the old tire to replace it with the spare. Installing the new tire is a two-step process: first tighten the screws by hand, then lower the car and use the wrench to tighten them in a crisscross pattern. Finally, don't forget to put the old tire back in the trunk. The spare tire has a speed limit of 80 km/h, so you should go to a tire repair shop as soon as possible.
