How to Fix a Flat Tire (General Guidelines):

Disclaimer: Tire repair should be done by a professional. Attempting to repair a tire without proper training and equipment can be dangerous.

1. Safety First: Park your vehicle in a safe location, away from traffic. Engage the parking brake.
2. Assess the Damage: Determine the cause of the flat (nail, puncture, or object embedded in the tire).
3. Use a Spare Tire: If available, replace the flat tire with a spare. Follow your vehicle's owner's manual for instructions.
4. Professional Repair: For punctures, consult a tire repair professional for proper evaluation and repair.

Important Considerations:

• Load Index and Speed Rating: These are crucial for determining the tire's suitability for your vehicle.

• Balancing: Proper wheel balancing is essential for smooth handling and tire life.

Cautions:

• Overloading: Avoid overloading the tire beyond its load capacity.
• Underinflation: Underinflated tires can lead to premature wear, blowouts, and reduced fuel economy.
• Over inflation: Overinflated tires can reduce traction, increase the risk of punctures, and affect ride comfort.
• Ignoring Wear Indicators: When the tread wear indicators appear, it's time to replace the tires.
