Getting a flat tire is frustrating and can be time consuming, especially when you don’t know what to do. So we’ve put it down for you a list of things to remember when you have a flat. This will especially come in handy if you find yourself being the proud owner of the brand new car that's being given away for free on Kiss 100 Kenya #KissMyRide
Before you set out on any journey, make sure that you have your Jack, Lug wrench, a fully inflated spare tire and your vehicle manual. You should also have a flashlight, incase this happens at night.
The first thing you should do is pull your car to a safe space. You will be working at the side of the road, so make sure you are highly visible and have placed hazards so that other drivers can clearly see you. Never attempt to change your tire on a narrow shoulder near oncoming traffic. Keep moving slowly until you find a safer spot. While driving on a flat risks ruining your rim, replacing a rim is better than being hit by an inattentive driver.
Once you have parked and your hazard lights are on, make sure that your parking brake is on and if you have them apply wheel wedges in front of or behind the tires so that you car does not roll. You can also use large stones or bricks.
Next remove the wheel cover before lifting the car with the Jack. Now you can use your lug wrench to loosen the lug nuts. Turn the wrench counterclockwise until you break their resistance. This may require some force. Loosen the lug nuts about ¼ to ½ of a turn, but don’t remove them completely yet. Save that for when it’s time to remove your tire/wheel from the vehicle.
Once you have placed the jack under the car, you can now raise the vehicle until the flat tire is about six inches above the ground. Now unscrew the lug nuts and remove them completely, then gently pull the tire towards you until it is completely free from the hub.
Mount the spare tire on and return the lug nuts and tighten them as much as possible. Once you have lowered the car, you should tighten the lug nuts again. Now you can replace the wheel cover.
Make sure you spare tire always has pressure because without it, you could easily get stranded.
If you love things about cars, then you definitely don't mind owning a brand new showroom vehicle with zero mileage. You can do this for FREE courtesy of Kiss 100 Kenya and yes, this car could be yours right before the Easter holiday.
