its not easy changing a tyre, ad rather take the car to a tyre centre and let them remove the tyre, you have to remove the wheel from the vehicle then you need tyre levers to remove the tyre and then a compressor and lead weight to balance it no thanks
2:17 - Also notice how he tightens them always 2 nuts over from the one he just tightened. Even tightening. Also don't fully tighten any nuts until all of them are on and hand-tightened and then loosely tightened (then fully tightened). Makes sure everything is nice and lined up. ALSO always be under the assumption that the jack WILL fail. So you don't want your hands above the wheel, where the wheel arch will destroy your hand/wrist. You want to lift the wheel in more of a 8 and 4 hand position (as far as a 12 hour clock goes). Also, the "tyre" is just the black rubber tread part. So "wheel" is the right terminology, but I understand the decision as far as getting more clicks.
Ha no weight in the car, mum and dad once changed the tyre with all 6 of us kids and out stuff in there 😂. Thanks for the video, way less complicated than I thought!
Thank you. I teach technical English to French students in Normandy and the way you made this video is ideal : you don't speak too fast and you explain everything step by step. I'm sure my students will enjoy learning from this video.
Thank you so much for this video!🙌 Today I changed my first car tyre at 15 years old! Goodluck to all the other youngsters who change theirs for the first time💛 Girl power!⭐️

I took out rear tires and when I put them back on, I only hand tighten the lug nuts with the 19mm socket and no wrench. (I did make sure the tire is on the hub surface flat and hand tightne it as much as I can) Then I didn't tighten it more with wrench and just lowered it and torque it to 100 ft/lb. Is it ok? (when I tighten it on the ground I didn't hear any weird noise or anything, it seemed to went pretty smoothly)
A tip for anyone if they're having problems undoing the wheel nuts is to push down on the tyre iron by standing on it, but stabilise yourself by putting a hand or two on the car so you don't fall over. Lefty loosy righty tighty.
you said at the end get a tire change as soon as possible. Are you saying that this is a temporary fix and I would need to then go get a tire change professionally?
Yeah, those fuckers practically scam you for how simple of a job it is. It's not difficult at all, at the end of the day, you're just loosening and re-tightening some bolts.
Technically, the title is still valid. By changing the wheel, you are effectively changing the tyre, as there is a different tyre on the other wheel. It's only a temporary fix. Replacing a tyre over a rim is a much more professional task and you're not going to have the equipment required for it by the roadside.
@@SweetAlexMore the same tyre is on the wheel as before. It's just that a different wheel is now on the car. This is not changing a tyre, it's changing a wheel
Yes this is how to change a tyre when needed.Wheel tyre what are you lot on about.Helpfull instruction.Taking a tyre off a wheel is more of a professional job because most of you will cause damage to the rim.
We have been in France for a couple of months and have recently been forced to deal with RAC services - as this is the company with whom we have our car insure - in order to fix a simple flat tyre. In mid-April we contacted one of RAC’s subcontractor garages to help us with a replacement of the punctured tyre - as advised by RAC themselves. The garage “specialist” used a hammer and damaged the disk completely, even getting a part stuck inside the tyre itself, after which he said we needed to bring the car into a garage 80+km away from our home. On the literal other side of Paris. We were afterwards invoiced for the repair of this tyre. In spite of our disagreement to pay for the damage that was done not by us but by the so-called “specialist”, we were told that the RAC would not support us. A few weeks later we came to the garage to pay for the bill in order to collect the car - as our need to have a form of transport was becoming crucial. We found that the car NOT ONLY still did not have the tyre fixed, but also found holes in all 4 disks of the wheels(!!!!) So, after a whole MONTH, after our attempts to contact RAC and get help with the situation, we are now left with the following: 1. a tire that still isn’t fixed 2. holes in ALL 4 WHEELS 3. removed bolts in all the disks 4. a bill for 500€ (!!!!) 5. a confirmation that the RAC are not responsible for their contractors 6. a car that is not operable and we cannot physically move from that garage The service we have received from the RAC has been atrocious - I’m pretty sure the situation with the “specialist” was created on purpose to make us have to bring the car to the garage in order to pay for it being there. We are now left with a car which still isn’t operable, a hefty bill which has been created out of thin air and ZERO support from the RAC.

So nobody read the car owners manual? Every car manufacturer states the torque (nm or ft/lb) for safely tighten the log nuts. So using a wrench and a torque wrench will do the perfect job. Now : 1. What is written in the manual, are lies and we have to ignore those info Or 2. The guy in the video doesn't know. I wonder which one is correct.. All the best!!!
Here’s something they don’t tell you but if the wheels haven’t been off for a while put two of the wheel nuts back on loose and give the tyre not the wheel the tyre a good kick at the top, be careful not to kick the car off the jack. And when putting back together give the contact area a clean and some copper grease if you have any because it’ll help for getting it off the next time
@@lewishunt3840 Why? There are plenty of "Changing wheels" videos on TH-cam, I searched for changing a tyre and watched this only to find it's another changing a wheel video. What was wrong with the comment? It wasn't rude or incorrect. I since found the correct video and have managed to replace a damaged tyre.
I can’t change a tyre. All those years at University and the best I could do is sit you down to discuss what gender you fit into out of the 128 different options. Also, down with the Tory party. Uni was great. Now, how can I afford my council tax which has just gone up to nearly £200 a month. It’s a Labour council but still, boooo Margret Thatcher.
Watching this cause I’m an adult and don’t know shite
You are not alone in this! :-)
Ah, I see I've found a suitable club for myself.
😂 same
Can I join this club?
can i still join?
Thanks. I just finished changing a tyre for the first time in my life. Quite proud of myself.

Wow after all these years I finally know how to change a tyre, thank you youtube!
Thank you so much for this video!🙌
Today I changed my first car tyre at 15 years old!
Goodluck to all the other youngsters who change theirs for the first time💛
Girl power!⭐️
Very helpful, thank you very much RAC!
I'm a 16yo girl and I changed a tire for the first time today. quite proud of myself
Well done 😊
Great and helpful guide, thanks

Much appreciated.
Thanks for that! 😅 Can confirm it works
changed my first today, doesn't mention you may need a rag from all the grease and oil you'll inevitably get all over your hands.
watching this again before doing a long drive
You've named this how to change a tyre when its a wheel. This is not what I was looking for
I took out rear tires and when I put them back on, I only hand tighten the lug nuts with the 19mm socket and no wrench. (I did make sure the tire is on the hub surface flat and hand tightne it as much as I can) Then I didn't tighten it more with wrench and just lowered it and torque it to 100 ft/lb. Is it ok? (when I tighten it on the ground I didn't hear any weird noise or anything, it seemed to went pretty smoothly)
plain and simply explained..
Hi, i'm having an issue where my wheel wrench rubs against the inside of the holes where the lug bolts go. it ruins the paint. how do i avoid this?
A tip for anyone if they're having problems undoing the wheel nuts is to push down on the tyre iron by standing on it, but stabilise yourself by putting a hand or two on the car so you don't fall over. Lefty loosy righty tighty.
can you place the used spare tyre back in the trunk once you make it to a "tyre shop" and buy new tyres??
Also need a rag to kneel on and wipe hands after. 100% always raining or wet when changing a wheel and kneeling down in wet is not nice. Good vid.
Wow thank you.
you said at the end get a tire change as soon as possible. Are you saying that this is a temporary fix and I would need to then go get a tire change professionally?
Had a flat recently and had to pay £144 to get an engineer to put the spare on.
Definity need to buy the tools and learn myself for future!
Yeah, those fuckers practically scam you for how simple of a job it is. It's not difficult at all, at the end of the day, you're just loosening and re-tightening some bolts.
Thanks
Also worth mentioning that most space saver tyres/tires need to go on the rear axle…
That is what's called changing a wheel not a tyre the tyre is the rubber bit on the wheel
Interesting accent. Which country / county is this guy from?
We're all here because our fathers failed us
Watching just for life experience
I am not English speaking person, but why the video stated changing tyre, while the wheel was changed?
Technically, the title is still valid. By changing the wheel, you are effectively changing the tyre, as there is a different tyre on the other wheel. It's only a temporary fix. Replacing a tyre over a rim is a much more professional task and you're not going to have the equipment required for it by the roadside.
Is this the wrong title? Surely It should be how to change a wheel?
He didn’t change the tyre all in this video.
Digger “he didn’t change the type at all” - you telling me the same tyre is on that was one before eh???
Women drivers..
🤡
@@SweetAlexMore the same tyre is on the wheel as before. It's just that a different wheel is now on the car. This is not changing a tyre, it's changing a wheel
@@SuperAlbino1 no because he changes the wheel and the tyre.
STEVIE EMERSON BROUGHT ME HERE!
Goodluck opening it if the damn tyre shop uses an impact to tighten your wheel nuts
That’s not changing a tyre I thought the RAC of all people would know this this is changing a wheel. Changing a tyre is only changing Tyres onto rims
Yes this is how to change a tyre when needed.Wheel tyre what are you lot on about.Helpfull instruction.Taking a tyre off a wheel is more of a professional job because most of you will cause damage to the rim.
You should of added that the wheel bolts/nuts should be tightened in sequence apart from that fair enough
Yeah I would have thought that an important step.
Looking for a video that details this for the girlfriend.
Great video! but you didn't give a thumbs up to the camera at the end. it was a missed opportunity :( still good tho
Ya levanté el vehículo, Ya quité las tuercas, pero la llanta no sale,. ¿Algún comentario?
so to change tyre i must replace the whole wheel, got it !
I am missing a close up, on where to put lifter. Where is the lifting point? Also on front and on back.
Check the owners manual in the vehicle. You will find necessary information there.
We have been in France for a couple of months and have recently been forced to deal with RAC services - as this is the company with whom we have our car insure - in order to fix a simple flat tyre.

2. holes in ALL 4 WHEELS
3. removed bolts in all the disks
4. a bill for 500€ (!!!!)
5. a confirmation that the RAC are not responsible for their contractors
6. a car that is not operable and we cannot physically move from that garage
The service we have received from the RAC has been atrocious - I’m pretty sure the situation with the “specialist” was created on purpose to make us have to bring the car to the garage in order to pay for it being there.
We are now left with a car which still isn’t operable, a hefty bill which has been created out of thin air and ZERO support from the RAC.

That wheel wrench is useless you need an extended one!
seemed to do him just fine, maybe you need to hit the gym
That’s how to change a wheel mate
This is hard
first sign😉

Missing a lot of steps. You should always put the emergency brake on.
After youv'e tightened them manually dont you need a electronic tightener?
The amount of people watching this on the side of the road
You misspelled tire
This is changing a wheel, not a tyre.
It's actually changing both
It's a WHEEL, not a tyre. A tyre is made out of rubber
So the tyre is still the same tyre that was on before?
@@theracingline6999 exactly, what a stupid pedantic idiot
Tyre change and wheel change are 2 completely different things! Title is misleading! I came here to learn how to CHANGE THE TYRE.
The title says “how to change a tyre” not how to change a wheel??
Uk i guess it’s different ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
good luck changing a tyre without the proper equipment
Which british accent is that?
West Midlands, a pretty generic accent for anywhere within about a 30 mile radius of Birmingham
The title is misleading, it shows how to change whole wheel not a tyre
Please rename the video to how to change a wheel. Not what I was looking for
Um, that's a wheel you are changing!
This is rubbish, I was looking for a car tyre changing video!
So what about the wheel cap you just gonna throw it out? The difficult thing is getting it off onto another wheel no wonder you skipped that part....
Yeah cause whenever I have a flat I always have a hi vis and orange triangle on me😂
I'm here cause my tyre blew out #help me
my mom made me watch this it's not bad Tho I'm 11
Katjaaaaa
How to change a wheel*
The title is how to change a tyre not a wheel!
That is not a tyre change people.
Misleading title. It should be: How to change a wheel.
Misleading title. I want to change the tyre on a wheel, I already know how to change a wheel which is what this is.
Bruh, title should be : how to change a wheel not tyre
Well I’m 17 soooo ima need to know just interested
