No one should ever leave their driveway without a spare tire, tire iron and a few other emergency items. Leaving home without these emergency items isn't just dangerous; it's silly. So, stay prepared and you won't be sorry the next time you discover you have a flat tire in a snow storm and you're 20 miles from the nearest town.

Rotating and changing flat tires can be dangerous for the inexperienced. Just about all of us have heard horror stories about someone changing a tire or being underneath a car when it came crashing down on them. Therefore, if you are going to change your own tires or rotate them, use caution. Read the following steps for a quick guide on how to change a tire.

Step 1- Before you do anything else, pull well off the side of the road. Many make this mistake and leave themselves unnecessarily exposed to danger. Once you are safely off the shoulder of the road, locate your emergency kit and spare tire and place them next to your flat tire.

Step 2 - Loosen the lug nuts. Do NOT jack up your vehicle without loosening the lug nuts first. This is probably the biggest time wasting, frustrating mistake we all make when changing a tire.

Step 3 - Locate a strong, flat section of the chasie to place your jack. Be sure there are no large pieces of gravel on the ground that will prevent your jack from resting safely on the ground.

Step 4 - Make sure everything is secure and you will not damage your car or truck by jacking. You can now begin to jack up your car by pumping the handle up and down. When your car has reached a height that will allow you to safely remove the flat tire stop.

Step 5 - Completely remove your lug nuts and put them all in your pocket, where they won't get lost. Remove your tire and put it aside where no one will hit it. Put on your spare tire. You may now put your lug nuts on and hand tighten them.

Step 6 - Release your jack by turning the handle in a counter clockwise direction. Some jacks allow you to place your tire iron on the jack and use that for a handle. These are the best jacks to use for beginners.

Step 7 - Once your tire is back on the ground and your jack is out of the way, you may tighten the lug nuts. Put as much strength into the job as you can muster. Loose lug nuts are a hazard to everyone on the road. Check the tire pressure and compare it to your user manual in your glove box.

Step 8 - Put everything back in the trunk or truck bed. Do NOT leave your tire on the side of the road. It's dangerous and wasteful. You can take most tires in to a tire shop and have them repaired for $8 to $15. A new tire will cost you ten times that amount. If you used a doughnut tire, replace it with your repaired tire as soon as possible.
