If you have not already done so, turn on your hazard lights and move your vehicle as far away from the road as possible. You will also want to apply your parking brake to avoid any vehicle rolling.

Once you have gathered your items, take a deep breath and get ready to repair your flat tire. You got this.
When driving on temporary spares remember the rule of 50, drive no more than 50 miles and no more than 50 mph. Driving more than 50 miles can result in damage to other tires or other parts of the car.
Getting a flat tire is never ideal for anyone but being prepared with the right information and tools is key. Consider keeping a safety kit in your car for all emergencies. A safety kit can help you not only change a tire but also in the event of a disabled vehicle. Local hardware stores such as Lowes or Home Depot sell roadside safety kits or you could DIY your own.
