How To Change Ford Tires?

Here's a step-by-step breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Prepare for a Flat Tire

Before you start changing a tire, make sure you're in a safe location and turn on your hazard lights. Then, grab your spare tire, jack, and lug wrench and place them near the tire you need to change.

Step 2: Loosen the Lug Nuts

Use the lug wrench to loosen the lug nuts on the flat tire. Don't remove them completely, just loosen them a bit to make it easier to remove the tire later.

Step 3: Lift the Vehicle

Using the jack, lift the vehicle until the flat tire is about 6 inches off the ground. Make sure the jack is properly positioned under the car, as indicated in your owner's manual.

Step 4: Remove the Flat Tire

Now that the vehicle is lifted, you can completely remove the lug nuts from the flat tire and gently remove the tire from the wheelbase.

Step 5: Install the Spare Tire

Place the spare tire on the wheelbase and hand-tighten the lug nuts.

Step 6: Lower the Vehicle

Using the jack, slowly lower the vehicle until it's back on the ground. Remove the jack and then tighten the lug nuts as much as you can using the lug wrench.

Step 7: Check the Tire Pressure

Make sure the spare tire is properly inflated to the recommended pressure level.

And there you have it! Follow these simple steps, and you'll be able to change a Ford tire like a pro in no time. Just remember to drive to a professional to have the tire replaced as soon as possible.
