Guys. Guys. Please learn to change a tyre. What happens when ur tyre punctures and you’re in the middle of nowhere with no reception. This has happened to me twice in my relatively short life. My dudes. Please. If it’s the only car maintenance you learn (other than checking your oil and changing windscreen washer fluid -those are super easy) please learn it.

#honestly if you have nobody to teach you #a) there’s Google and your car’s manual #b) go to whatever garage you use to get your car serviced and be like ‘hey I don’t know how to change a tyre. please teach me so I don’t get #caught in a bad situation’ and if they’re good people I guarantee they’ll teach you #like once you’ve learnt how to jack it safely it’s easy anyway #and even if you know how #the first thing you should do after changing a tyre is going to a garage to get it checked either to replace the wheel you just lost #or to get whatever happened checked #and they’ll torque it for you and everything #seriously it’s not hard. jack the car. take the bolts off with a tyre iron.#pull the wheel off. replace. tighten the nuts. (I meant nuts not bolts on the last tag)#also tyre is the English spelling for whoever it was who questioned that earlier. British english.#sorry I’m not American I guess
