HOW TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE

May 10th, 2019 by

It is no secret that being stranded on the side of the road with a flat tire is something that no driver wants to experience. However, if you do find yourself with a flat, it is important that you know how to handle it. This starts with having a spare tire that is ready to go along with the necessary tools for changing it out. Our team at LEXUS OF PEMBROKE PINES wants to arm you with all the information you need to successfully change your tire so that you can come into our dealership to have a brand-new tire put on.

Changing Your Tire:

– Pull off to a safe spot so that you can change your tire – allowing plenty of room to move around.
– Get your spare tire, jack, and tire iron.
– Loosen up each of the wheel lugs on the flat tire of your LEXUS NX 300 before jacking it up.
– Take the fat tire off and then put the spare tire in place.
– You can then carefully lower the vehicle with your jack, then double check the tightness on all of your wheel lugs.

Pro-Tip: If you do not know of all of the best jacking points on your INFINITI car, you can take a look to find definitive answers in your owner’s manual.

It is essential that you have a spare tire in your vehicle that is properly inflated and ready to go. After you change out your flat tire, remember that it is best to have a new tire put on as soon as you have a chance. Our LEXUS SERVICE technicians can make sure that we get you a new tire to replace your spare mounted and balanced at your earliest convenience.
