How to Change a Flat Tire

Nobody should ever be stranded on the side of the road due to a flat tire. While changing a flat tire is never a good time for anyone, this is important knowledge for any driver to have. Our staff at Kearny Mesa INFINITI would like to make sure that you have the ability to change your tire until you can come to our service center for a brand-new tire!

Tire Changing Steps

• Make sure that you are in a safe spot on the side of the road with plenty of room to work.
• Gather your spare tire, tire iron, and jack.
• Take the time to loosen the wheel lugs on your INFINITI and then jack it up.
• Take off the flat tire and install your spare.
• Carefully lower the vehicle and make sure that your wheel lugs are tightened all the way.

Helpful Tip: If you are unsure of where to find the proper jacking points on your INFINITI QX60 or INFINITI Q70, be sure to take a look in the owner’s manual.

When it comes to the spare tire for your vehicle, it is important that you know that they are not made for continued use along with the rest of your tires on the vehicle. Once you have your tire changed and you make it home or to your destination safely, you should make an appointment to bring your vehicle to our INFINITI service center at Kearny Mesa INFINITI. We can make sure that you have a replacement tire mounted and balanced before checking to ensure you are good to go. Our trained technicians will have you back on your way before you know it!

Kearny Mesa INFINITI is located at 4670 Convoy Street in San Diego, CA. If you would like to make a service appointment, contact our INFINITI service team by calling (858) 573-1700.
