Are your treads wearing thin? Is it time for your next tire rotation? Have you just run a flat on the roads near Rumson? Here at Jaguar Monmouth, we think that every driver can benefit by learning how to change a car tire at home or on the road.
It doesn’t matter what kind of vehicle you drive. The answer to the question, “How do you change a car tire?” won’t change! As long as you have a jack and a lug wrench on hand, you’ll be able to get the job done quickly:
If you’re rotating your tires, it helps to have a set of jack stands on hand. This way, you can get all four wheels up in the air. If changing all your tires at home seems like too big of a task, don’t worry! We’ve made it easy to schedule service.
Car tires generally last between six and ten years, but how often should you change car tires, really? It all depends on how often you rotate your tires and how well you keep them inflated as you drive around Red Bank and Point Pleasant.
The best way to tell if you need to change a car tire is to check the tread depth using a ruler, a tread gauge, or a penny. New tires will have a depth of roughly ⅓ of an inch, and you should replace them when they reach 2/32 of an inch or less.
Spare tires are not manufactured according to the same standards which distinguish the tires you normally use on your vehicle. Most will only last for around 50 miles, and going faster than 50 mph is not recommended when you’re running on a spare. Head straight to your local tire store, and pick up a new one as soon as you can.
Your spare may have its own unique limitations, so be sure to check the tire wall when you’re getting ready to put it on.
