Tire changing set: You need this tool

If you want to save money on changing tires, you can do it yourself with the right tool set. We'll show you what you need for it.

Tire change set: This tool is required

You only need a few tools to change tires. Most of the tools are already in the car or in the basement.

• The first thing to do is loosen the wheel nuts. For this you need a cross wrench. In the trunk of the spare wheel you will often find a similar tool, but it is somewhat more uncomfortable.
• A jack is needed to raise the tires. Many cars have a rather spartan model in the trunk.
• To reassemble the tires, you need a torque wrench.
• After dismantling, the tires are marked with a piece of chalk or adhesive tape. This means you cannot mix up the tires next season.
• Tip: Do not get your fingers dirty with gloves. Car tires are anything but clean.

In the next practical tip, we will explain when all-season tires make sense.
