change tyres at home

Yes, you can change car tyres at home, but do it properly or the neighbours will hear the shouting.

Park on level ground, engage the handbrake, chock the wheels, crack the wheel nuts slightly, then lift the car at the correct jack point and support it with stands—never trust the jack alone.

Remove the wheel, swap on the spare or your mounted tyre, hand-tighten the nuts in a star pattern, lower the car, then torque to the spec in your owner’s manual.

Check pressures (including the spare), reset any TPMS light, and re-torque after 50–100 km just to be safe.

If you mean actually fitting a loose tyre to a rim, leave that to a tyre shop with a bead breaker, balancer and a healthy fear of exploding sidewalls.

Legal tread depth in Australia is 1.5 mm, but in the wet you’ll want far more—your dignity and stopping distances will thank you.
