Have you run into trouble with a flat tire? Maybe you’d just like to save on service by rotating your tires at home! Either way, you need to be able to answer the question, “How do you change a car tire?” Suntrup Volkswagen has put together a simple 6-step guide on the subject. Take advantage of our tire tips and get back on the roads of St Louis and St Peters in no time.
Whether you drive a Volkswagen or some other model, you’ll need the following tools to change a tire:
How do you change a tire on the side of the road? We recommend that drivers carry a small kit in their cargo area. While you’re at it, stock yourself with a first aid kit, too!
Spare tires are described as such for a reason! They’re not like ordinary tires, and with most spare tires, it’s recommended that you stay below speeds of 50 mph.
If you have to put on a spare, it’s also recommended that you go straight to your local service center, parts department, or tire store–wherever you normally go for a new set. It’s not a good idea to drive more than 50 miles on a spare tire.
You know how to equip a new set, but how often should you change car tires if you want to avoid flat tires and other problems? Most tires last between six and ten years, but this varies depending on the kind of tires you buy, and how you drive.
Still not sure of how often to change your tires? Maybe you don’t remember when you got your current set. If your tread depth has fallen below 2/32 of an inch, it’s definitely time for a replacement. Of course, changing your tires isn’t the only important part of a tire care regimen. Find out how often to rotate your tires today.
Remember: If the question, “How do you change a car tire?” is still giving you pause, you don’t have to go it alone! Turn to our St. Louis Volkswagen tire store for a new set. Schedule service to get your tires inspected or replaced.
