The Tools You'll Need to Change a Flat Tire
Having a flat tire on the road is an inconvenience that happens to most drivers at least once. Knowing how to change a flat won't help, though, if you don't have a proper set of tools for changing a tire.
Most vehicles today include at least an emergency spare tire, sometimes called a "doughnut." It's important to make sure your spare has enough air pressure periodically, so it can serve its purpose when you need it. You'll also need to keep a car jack and a tire iron with the spare. Consider investing in a pneumatic jack and spinning tire iron to make changing tires faster.
