How to Change a Tire | Change a flat car tire step by step

I love how concerned this guy is for our wellbeing at every stage. All he's doing is taking the spare tyre out of the trunk and he's like "careful this can be quite heavy". Thanks alan, what a swell guy lmao

As a 29 year old man, having never changed a tyre, and stranded in a supermarket car park tonight, you have rescued my kids dinner before it defrosted, and for that I thank you my good friend

"Jacking can take a while, so be patient and cautious while you jack" Sage advice.

this video saved my life at 2 am in Florida

As someone who has never owned a car before and never needed to know how to change a flat this video was very helpful, I'm surprised by how many people in the comments are watching this video and dissing it for being so detailed and acting like everyone should already know all this.

My tire busted five minutes from my house and my parents refused to drive out to help. Thank you Alan for being a better father than I’ll ever have.

Very clear and thorough instruction. When giving instruction, always assume the audiences have no "0" knowledge of the topic.  Otherwise, one might left out important details. Of course, there will be those genius that know it all and don't need details....until they got stuck then blame the instructors... :)

This really should be part of driver's ed. I never bothered to learn and was very sorry when I got a flat on an extremely cold night and had to pay a gas station attendant a tidy sum to do it for me.

Thanks, got it done in under 5 minutes in the passing rain.  feel like a real man.

i usually dont like cheesy instructional videos but this guy was pretty professional and this video was very informative. I just got my license and my dad never really taught me about cars so i am doing a crap load of research on my own about cars.

shout out to everyone dealing with a flat tire right now. like me lol

learning this to impress girls

This probably the best video tutorial I’ve ever watched. Simple and straight to the point, and I was able to change the tire in about 20 mins.

"Jacking can take a while, so be patient"

This is how all instructional videos should be made - talk through every step and explain why something is done the way it is done so people who don't know anything about it can remember important details. I had the general concept in my head, but I did not know some important stuff and now I do (and I'll make sure I watch this again now and then to refresh my memory). Thank you very much, a great video!

Some tips : Be careful when jacking it up. DON'T jack it up on the plastic frame do it on the metal frame below the car. Also, If your jacking device has a thin gap this should be aligned with the metal that fits in there. If you change all four tires because of snow and summer use some chalk to write on them were they were like front-left, back-right. Hope this helps.

i just wanted to say thank you SO MUCH im an inexperienced 17yo stuck in the middle of nowhere with a tire that literally ripped open somehow and following this video saved me PS if anyone in a similar situation right now is seeing this, this video is more than helpful, but just note that taking the tire out can take a lot of force as it can be stuck in there due to rust and stuff. a few kicks in any direction, even inward can help loosen it up. just make sure not to kick the car off the jack while ur at it ofc

Thanks allen! My dad comes and helps me every time I have a flat tire but he was sick this morning and couldn’t come help me. I had a rough idea of what I needed to do but having you with me step-by-step made me feel more confident that I could do it!

I just helped an elderly man replace his tire. Looked up this video and because you explained it so clearly I only had to watch it once. Just wanted you to know you helped someone out today and now I have learned a valuable skill. Thank you

Got a puncture right outside work, watched this quietly tucked away, then strode out and confidently changed my wheel and impressed my colleagues with quite possibly the manliest thing I’ve ever done.
