One time we change flat tire with my dad.

Never put the donut on the front.

[@jacobyo99]

I thought you were never supposed to put the donut on the front!

[@miguelbaeza65]

Jacob Shreve who said that?

[@jacobyo99]

Ivan Vojt I feel like the car would be more stable to drive with it on the back.

[@jacobyo99]

Miguel Baeza When my car had a flat front tire, the AAA driver put a good tire on the front and the donut on the back. I definitely think it’s the right move, because less weight should be placed on the donut, and I don’t think it would be as stable when accelerating or turning. But I’ve heard many people say to put the spare on the back.

[@orbits2]

false engineers built in a flat front tire with a donut spare tire scenario

[@getukidana8295]

The tires won't come out, what should I do.

[@nicolaspecoraro572]

Kick it

[@seanppage]

Google Gemini linked me this video claiming it to be a clip from king fu panda

[@YOARTHFU]

You are changing the entire wheel, not the tire... Changing a tire is a standalone profession. Wheels are the rims on which tires are affixed.

[@Sniperboy5551]

“Do-nut procrastinate” has to be one of the most cringeworthy things I’ve heard all week… congraulations

[@RKDTOO]

This is showing how to change a wheel, *not* a tire.

[@orbits2]

one of the worst tire irons with zero leverage. get a tee handle one and have a leverage pipe handy to stand on to unfreeze the wheel nuts best is to have a small floor jack instead of a scissors jack. get a real spare tire or call AAA ect.
