How To Fix BMW Tire Puncture

Imagine the following: You are driving down the highway in your top-notch BMW automobile or SUV, with the windows open and the music turned up to a loud volume. You are taking in the fresh air and sunshine that is finally breaking through the clouds. It is a beautiful day for a drive, but suddenly you hear a loud popping sound, and you have no choice but to pull over. You’re stranded because a nail punctured your tire. At this point, what should you do? A surprising number of people do not have the knowledge necessary to deal with a punctured tire on their own. And regardless of whether or not you have any kind of roadside assistance, you must still know how to handle the issue in the event of an emergency. For this reason, Competition BMW of Smithtown offers some guidance on what to do in the event that you get a flat tire.

How To Fix BMW Tire Puncture

• To begin, you need to familiarize yourself with the tools that are included in your vehicle in the event that you have a punctured tire. Does your car have a spare tire? Perhaps a repair kit for the tires? Get your ducks in a row by being prepared. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to change your punctured tire:
• If you end up having a flat tire, the most important thing you can do is get to a safe location as soon as possible.
• The next step is to remove the car jack, spare tire, and tire iron from the trunk of the vehicle, most likely from underneath the floor mat. If at all possible, you should check the air pressure in the spare tire twice.
• Put the vehicle in park, move it to a level surface, engage the emergency brake, and, if you can block the tire that is facing the other direction from the flat.
• Before you lift the automobile onto the jack, you should use the tire iron to unscrew each wheel lug by twisting it in the opposite direction of the clock.
• After confirming in the owner’s manual the correct locations at which to jack the vehicle, position the jack underneath the car and begin to slowly raise it until the flat tire is lifted off the ground.
• After that, you will be able to pull off the tire entirely and remove the lugs from the wheel.
• Placing the spare tire over the wheel studs and carefully aligning them to hang the tire is the first step in changing the tire.
• After that, you can reattach the wheel lugs by screwing them on until they are nice and secure. After the jack has been lowered and removed, the lugs should be completely tightened.
