Even if it&#8217;s not included, you should make sure to have a spare on hand. You will also need a jack, a lug wrench, and your vehicle owner\u2019s manual. If your vehicle came with a spare tire, it probably also came with these tools. However, you should double check you haven\u2019t misplaced them. There are some other items that aren\u2019t required but can be helpful when installing a spare tire. This includes a flashlight with working batteries, a rain poncho, small cut of 2\u201dx6\u201d wood to secure the jack, gloves, and wheel wedges.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How To Change A Spare Tire<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before installing your spare tire, you\u2019ll need to do some safety checks. Make you find a safe location to park your vehicle, turn on your hazard lights, apply the parking brake, and place the wheel wedges. Now you\u2019re ready for the spare tire installation.

You might have to apply your full body weight to get them loose. Do not remove the lug nuts completely, just loosen about \u00bc to \u00bd of a turn.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place the Jack Under the Vehicle<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Stick the jack beneath the vehicle frame alongside the tire that\u2019s flat. Be sure to follow the instructions for jack placement in your vehicle owner\u2019s manual.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raise the Vehicle with the Jack<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: With the jack properly positioned, raise the vehicle until the flat tire is about six inches above the ground. Do not put any part of your body under the vehicle during or after raising the vehicle with the jack.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unscrew the Lug Nuts<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Now you can fully unscrew the lug nuts.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remove the Flat Tire<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Pull the tire by its treads, pull it gently toward you until it\u2019s completely free from the hub behind it.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mount the Spare Tire on the Lug Bolts<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Place the spare on the hub by lining up the rim with the lug bolts, then push gently until the lug bolts show through the rim.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tighten the Lug Nuts by Hand<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Place the lug nuts back on the lug bolts and tighten them all the way by hand (not the wrench yet).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower the Vehicle and Tighten the Lug Nuts with a Wrench<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Lower the jack so that the space tire is resting on the ground but the full weight of the vehicle isn\u2019t fully on the tire. Now, you should use the wrench (turning clockwise) to tighten the lug nuts as much as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower the Vehicle Completely<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: You can now bring\u00a0 the vehicle all the way to the ground and remove the jack.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replace the Hub Cap<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: If the hubcap you removed from the flat tire will fit your spare, put it in place the same way you removed it initially. If it doesn\u2019t fit, stow it away with the tire when you stow your equipment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check the Pressure in the Spare<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Be sure to check the tire pressure of the spare tire to make sure that it is safe to drive on. If the tire needs pressure, drive slowly to a service station immediately.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><b>Driving With A Spare Tire\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosenhyundai.com\/hyundai-service-and-parts-in-il.htm\">how long can you drive on a spare tire<\/a>?
