change a tyre

Yes, you can change a tyre without summoning roadside assistance, or your uncle who 'knows cars'.

Park on level ground, handbrake on, hazards flashing, chock a wheel, and find the proper jack point in the handbook.
Crack the wheel nuts a quarter-turn while the tyre is still on the ground.
Jack it up until the tyre lifts, remove the nuts, and pull the wheel straight off.
Fit the spare, align the holes, and hand-tighten the nuts in a star pattern.
Lower the car and tighten the nuts firmly in a star pattern; stow tools and check the spare’s pressure.

If it’s a space-saver, keep it under 80 km/h and get the punctured tyre repaired promptly.
