4 Tips for Flat Tire Repair
• There are certain tools that must be in your car
• They include: a Gardner’s knee pad, a full length apron, a full pair of gloves and a
towel. With these, you can get back on the road without ruining your clothes. But
what do you use them for? The next tip answer that question.
• You must have an emergency tire repair kit
• A tire repair kit can be obtained from a local store. Anyone that deals in automotive
parts can help here.
• The Donut Spare Experience
• You must understand that a donut spare is also a temporary solution. On a general
note, donut spares are not supposed to be driven for longer than 50 miles. Your
manual serves as a very useful guide here. Always consult your manual.
• Always endeavor to familiarize yourself with your car
• Whether or not you have changed your car tire before, you must get familiar with
your car. You must make sure you know how to use the jack. Jacks come in different
types so you must know yours. Also, you must learn how to place the Jack for all four
tires.
