dangerous for oncoming traffic where
you can change the wheel safely. The
ground should be flat and adequately
firm;

used into the tool bag;
❒stow the bag with tools into its place
under the driver’s seat.

with tubeless tyres. Check tyre and space-

with others of different type (i.e.: with al-
loy rim instead of steel rims and vice ver-
