what tool is used to get tires off of the car
Loosen the lug nuts while the car is still on the ground with a tire iron (also called a lug wrench). Turn the tire iron counter-clockwise. Trying to loosen lug nuts while the car is jacked up will cause the tire to spin uselessly. You may have to take off lug nut trim caps. These caps can be removed by unscrewing them or pulling them off. You may also have to remove the hubcap (wheel cover).
