You're driving when suddenly your tire goes flat. It's a common situation that most drivers in Seaside have encountered. Porsche Monterey wants to share a few simple tips that all drivers should remember when replacing a flat tire.
If a flat occurs while you are driving, getting your car safely out of traffic is the top priority. You should reduce your speed and look for a safe exit off the roadway. You can drive for a very short distance on the cars rim without causing damage. Try to find a spot that is level and firm before you start replacing the tire.
Always put your cars emergency brake on before you start to replace the tire. You should also use road triangles and reflectors if you have them. These will allow other drivers to see that your car is immobile. Always pay attention to your surroundings and stay alert. At night you should only replace a flat tire in a well-lighted area.
