How to change a tire

  I had asked a couple people and took a small survey and allot of people don't even know how to change a tire for there car. That's kinda sad because its one of the easiest things you can change on your car. The first step to changing your tires would to get new tires. Second your car should have a jack, if it doesn't  then you need to get one that fits your car/truck. What I mean by fits is you should jack up your car and it should be tall enough to lift the tire up. Next step your going to want to put the jack directly  under the front axel off to the left or the right depending on the tire and depending if its the front or back tire.So vice versa. Alright third your going to jack up the car. You want it to be up far enough so your tire is off the ground, now your tire does not need to be 4 feet off the damn ground but it shouldn't touch either. Now you will need a lugnut wrench to take of the nuts on the tires rim. From here on its mostly common sense. Take your old tire off and put the new one on. You can obviously see where to put the tire on, if you cant figure that out... well find a changing tire books for dummies. You need to put the nuts back on a certain way. You will be putting them on as if you were connect dots on a star. This is very important because when you release the jack and put the tire back down you will need to re-tighten them in the star motion again, it will distribute itself evenly, creating the perfect  balance of grip.The jack will release if you turn the handle to the left. Its that simple and your done!
