well after years of owning several cars i got my 1st flat tire! i left work and new something was wrong right away. i pulled over into a parking lot, got out and there it was the right passangers side tire. totally flat. so i pulled every thing out of my trunk to get to the spare and jack. but wait an minute.....wheres the crowbar to get the nuts off!!??? well after scratching my head for a bit. i pulled out the manual, and wouldnt you know it. the crowbar partis attached to the jack. once we ( i called m sister and brother-n-law who drove out to meet me at the parking lot) figured it out. it took my brother n law about 5 minutes to change he sucker! so ill be u ealier in the morning to drop off the tire to get it fix. hopefully it can be fix! but at least now i know how to change a flat tire on my Cobalt! juts thank god i have off tomorrow from my job or would be in trouble!

 

When all else fails, read the instructions. Hope it can be pluged for ya.

 

rule #1.... know how to change a tire!! all you have to do is unscrew it and screw the new one on

 

First flat ever??? I can usually bank on getting at least one a year. lol

At least you know how to fix it now so you will not have to call for help next time.

 

LOL I had a flat on my car at 2k miles.

Later

 

Do yo have the GM tire protection?

 

if u need 1. i have 1 stock 18 pirelli. pay shipping and a couple dollars and its yours

 

you are damn lucky!! i get atleast 1-2 flats a year...minimum! Two of the flats i did have ended up being sidewall punctures and had to get new tires (roadhazard coverage FTW!!!)

 

Can you use a screwdriver???

 

your right. the tireiron was attached to the jack. after that it took about 5 minutes and i was on my way. i took it in to see if the tire could be repaired, but it couldnt. had a gash in the side wall. so i had to get it replaced! good as new

 

How many miles on it , I might be interested I got a screw in one of mine right now.
