The tire won't come off as if it's stuck

The reason why the tire won't come off as if it's stuck is due to prolonged use of the vehicle, causing rust to form between the brake disc and the wheel hub, which then gets stuck.

If you encounter this situation while changing a spare tire for your vehicle, where the tire won't come off after unscrewing the bolts, it may be because prolonged use has caused rust to form between the brake disc and the wheel hub, making them stick together. In such cases, you can kick the edge of the tire to loosen one side, which will help remove the tire. However, avoid using excessive force or repeatedly kicking the same spot, as this could deform the wheel hub and affect the vehicle's stability. Alternatively, you can call for professional assistance to prevent damaging the wheel yourself.

When changing a spare tire on your own, it's best to place the removed tire under the vehicle to prevent misalignment during movement and avoid accidents where the vehicle might end up resting on only three wheels.
