Here at Genesis of Roswell we like to help drivers stay informed with helpful advice for roadside emergencies. A flat tire is a common problem that all drivers in Roswell will eventually face. Here are some best practices for replacing a flat tire.
If you have a flat in traffic, look for the first available opportunity to safely exit the roadway. Aim to find an area that is level and firm, and well-lighted if your flat happens at night. Once you've stopped your car safely, begin by putting on your emergency brake. You can then begin to change the tire.
Road triangles or reflectors are a wise addition to your tire replacement tools. Place these before and behind your vehicle to let others know your car is inoperable. Above all else, never try to replace a flat tire if it isn't safe to do so. Secure the vehicle and phone for assistance.
