Punctured tire in the middle of nowhere

[StockEngine]

Well Ill just share my road side semi-emergency situation.

Driving back my tire blew in the middle of nowhere. No street lighting. New tires. Wtf. Insurance company wasnt reachable. Tow trucks or road side assitance aren't known to passby here. No choice but to do it myself.

1. No early warning device=hazard light on
2. Gloves anti slip
3. Knee pads.
4. Hyundai kit n No Jack!! Forgot the bottle.
5. Led light.
6. Battery powered impact driver.


Parked safely away from main road, handbrake??? Loosen lugs nuts, lift at lifting point, remove punctured tire and replace with new one. Lower and tighten.

Done in 15minutes.

Long story short, the tires were extremely quiet from Goodyear. Some road noise developed after the 3rd week. Lesson learnt: check tires if some characteristic somewhat changed.

Curious how you managed to lift the vehicle without a jack.

my thoughts (and that of other old-timers):

did i read, no jack? so how did...?
battery powered impact driver? wuzzat?
knee pads? what for? i never had my knees dirtied when i replaced a flat...

so what foreign object caused the flat?


heh heh.

hindi ba SOP na sa ating mga may-ari ang merong jack, tire wrench, tools, pump (just in case na kulang sa hangin yung reserba), tire pressure gauge, torch at tubig.

kung ako lang di ko na kelangang magpa tow or tumawag ng roadside assistance mas mabilis pa kayang gawin ang magpalit ng gulong.

well, in my most recent new car purchase, all they gave was the jack, the one-armed cross wrench, and the jack stick. i had to buy everything else. i know manufacturers are into weight-saving measures, but this is ridiculous!
and i bet i have something in my trunk most of you don't have... two blocks of wood!

Unfortunately for many, marerealize lang nila na kailangan nila lahat yan kapag nasiraan na sila sa gitna ng kawalan.

.. most frequently realized , is... "bakit mas flat pa yung spare tire ko..? wala hangin..?"

but if i can inflate my softening tire, i'd do so and drive to the nearest tire shop. it's easier than having to change the tire myself.

TS

No jacks, how did you raise the car?

[XTO]

Mahirap talaga yan... imagine no jack during tire change? Even if you all have the tools and warning devices..

[oj88]

The TS wrote his post at 3AM, so I figure he must be tired and groggy then and got his facts mixed up.

I sure hope he wasn't DUI or doing any drugs. You know... the kind of drug that can give you temporary superhuman strength to lift the vehicle. :D j/k

HonestIy havent done a flat tire change before and really dread the day that i will have to do one on the road side. But i got all the tools ready Even if yung spare i am not sure sa condition hindi kasi accesible for psi check unless i bring it down. Although i always have them checked and rotated with spare sa casa every 5k km.

[dr. d]

i re-read the thread. also, stockengine is from... elsewhere.
"No Jack"... isn't that an inflatable balloon that lifts the car, instead of the traditional metal jack we are used to..?

.. almost bought one some years back, but my friend said that it springs a leak with regularity.. didn't find out if it was made in chi...

4. Hyundai kit n No Jack!! Forgot the bottle.



If it happened in Europe the polizei will intervene and if they found out you don't have a spare tire nor a jack, it is automatic vehicle impoundment
