Regardless of wherever and whenever you get a flat tire, let’s agree that it is an inconvenience. When you notice that your tire is flat, one thing you definitely do not want to do is continue driving with that flat tire. This can cause serious damage to your wheel which can turn a rather minor repair into a full tire replacement. Driving with a flat tire can be dangerous, so it is important to safely get your vehicle off the road and follow the necessary steps to change your tire.
What do you need to do to repair your tire to get on with your day? Here are a few steps:
Now that you have a spare tire on your vehicle and you are ready to go, be sure to read the instructions that pertain to the spare (such as the maximum speed you can travel as well as how far you can go). Remember that if you break down during a storm, on a busy freeway, at night, or in any other dangerous condition it might be safer to call for help rather than taking matters into your own hands. Always put the safety of you and your passengers first.
