Signs you're in flat tire change territory
- A nail, a pothole or a curb ended the tire in the middle of a drive
- You have a spare but the tools are missing or the lug nuts are stuck
- The spare is flat, a donut, or in poor shape
- The car is on a narrow shoulder where jacking is unsafe
- A passenger cannot do the lifting and the job is risky
- The tire blew and damaged the fender or the rim
