To change a tyre, you will need a few essential pieces of equipment. Firstly, a vehicle lift, ramp or jack is required to lift the vehicle off the ground, allowing you to remove the wheel. A wrench or a socket wrench with the correct size socket is necessary to loosen and remove the wheel nuts that secure the wheel to the vehicle. Additionally, a new or replacement tyre should be readily available to replace the worn, punctured or damaged one.
To make the process smoother and more efficient, a tyre machine and balancer can be highly beneficial to both speed up the process and make it an effortless task. A tyre machine assists in removing the tyre from the rim and helping to mount the new one, making the task easier and faster. A tyre balancer, on the other hand, ensures that the wheel is balanced with a newly mounted tyre in place to prevent vibrations and ensure a smooth ride. These tyre machine packages are commonly found in MOT Bays, automotive workshops and tyre service centres, enabling professionals to perform tyre changes with precision, speed and accuracy.
