All good advice – especially in the comments. A flat tire is bound to happen to all of us at some point. In those situations, it’s invaluable to have the right gear and know-how to get back on the road.

Get you a subscription in AAA. They are a great service to have if you are stuck on the road. I have been a member for years and they have gotten me out of a bind a time or two.

I have heard so many terrible stories about people just doing something simple on the side of the road and getting hit by cars. Great suggestions here to be safer.

Also, consider getting a hydraulic jack for your car. These are quicker and easier to jack up the car. You can also buy lugnut gun that will allow you to remove lugnuts quickly and easier than with a normal lug wrench.

Great suggestion. I have not had a flat tire in a while, but having a reflective vest is a great idea. Especially if you break down at night and have to put the “mickey mouse” tire on the dark.
