Changing Your Nissan Tires

When changing a tire in your own Beatrice garage, you’ll need to gather the right tools, namely a jack, lug wrench, replacement tire, and your owner’s manual. Just like any other automotive upgrade, you’ll want to work with OEM parts and recommended replacement tires with each job. Once you have a high-quality replacement, learning how to change a tire is easy:

  1. If you’re on the side of the road, move to a safe location and turn on your hazard lights.
  2. Once parked, apply your parking brake and place wheel wedges under your other tires.
  3. Remove the hubcap and loosen the lug nuts.
  4. With your jack, raise your vehicle off the ground and remove the lug nuts.
  5. Remove the damaged tire and mount the replacement.
  6. Tighten the lug nuts and lower your vehicle to the ground.

How Often to Change Car Tires

Wondering how often to change car tires? The truth is that it all depends on how well you care for your tires and how well they’re made. If you routinely rotate your tires, check the tire pressure, and inspect the tread, you should get pretty close to the mileage promised by the manufacturer. In addition to care, the conditions you encounter during your Kearny travels will impact your tire change frequency. If you’re unsure if you’re due for a fresh set of tires, visit us in Lincoln for an inspection!

How Many Miles Can You Go on a Spare Tire?

If you’ve changed your tire in an emergency, chances are you used a spare (donut) tire. If that’s the case, you’ll want to prioritize getting a new tire. Spare tires are designed to travel roughly 50 miles at speeds of 50 MPH or less.
