What should I do if I have a flat Michelin tire?

If you have a flat Michelin tire, it is important to take a series of steps to ensure your safety and the proper handling of the tire. First, safely pull over to a flat, stable surface away from traffic. Turn on your hazard lights to alert other drivers. You will need to inspect the tire to confirm that it is indeed flat. Check for any visible punctures, damage, or foreign objects embedded in the tread. If you have a spare tire and tools, you may begin changing the tire. Make sure you follow the vehicle's manual for instructions on how to properly remove and replace the flat tire. It is advisable to use a jack to lift the vehicle and then take off the damaged tire, replacing it with the spare. If you do not feel comfortable performing the tire change yourself, or if you do not have a spare, it may be best to call for roadside assistance. Additionally, Michelin recommends checking the tire for any warranty coverage if it has sustained significant damage. For specific warranty details, customers can look on Michelin's official website to find pertinent information about coverage. Finally, after replacing or repairing the flat tire, inspect it regularly to ensure it is functioning correctly.
