While many drivers know to have a jack, a lug wrench, and an inflated spare tire on hand in case of a flat tire, there are other helpful items to have.
The Tools & Items You Need
A poncho is a good item to keep in your vehicle when encountering a flat tire. Flat tires don't care about the weather when they blow, so getting one on a rainy day is possible. Gloves are another important and helpful item of clothing to have. Whether your wheels are dirty or scorching hot, gloves can save the day. Having a flashlight and extra batteries stowed away in your vehicle can be a lifesaver when you blow a tire late at night. These simple items and tools can completely change how you change a tire.
