Are you stuck on the side of the road with a flat tire, unable to get a tow truck or roadside assistance for a number of hours? BMW of Visalia has a quick list of steps that you can use to change your flat tire yourself. It's actually a very easy process when you know what to do.

  • Before you start, pull your vehicle off the road to a flat and safe area.
  • Remove the wheel cover on the flat tire and loosen (Don't remove) the lug nuts.
  • Use the jack stand to raise up that portion of your vehicle.
  • Remove the lug nuts the rest of the way, and remove your flat tire from the vehicle.
  • Replace the flat tire with the spare.
  • Place the lug nuts back on the vehicle, and make sure you carefully lower the vehicle back down. 
  • Tighten all of the lug nuts before you drive again.
