Shout out to Mike and Kyle, 2 dudes who saw me trying to change my tire, but my tire iron doesn't fit the lugs. Thankfully Kyle had a socket set that did fit. I ordered a 4way tire iron the second I got home!
Thank you Gentlemen for the assistance that saved me a tow!
The interview went well, just waiting to hear if I got the teaching job. *crosses fingers*

Did they offer to change your oil too?

If you feel like splurging, they make decent battery-powered electric impact drivers nowadays. Never take sass from a seized lug nut again.

When I was a kid, my car got stuck on the way to school(Maine backroads, no cell phone). Luckily, a truck guy showed up and pulled me out.

I wouldnt drive a car long distances not knowing i have a functioning spare and means to replace it.

Mother fucking Mike and Kyle. Every time. Save some for the rest of us.

Screw a four way wrench, get a socket set.
MotoCanuck
Get a breaker bar, much better leverage and easier to balance when standing on, if you work in a state that sees snow and road salt.

I was alone on my bike, ran out of fuel, on the freeway on ramp. Other bikers passed me. A truck of Mexican gardeners gave me fuel.

I will always be reminded grateful to the time I was on side of road with a flat and pulling spare out of trunk and had two guys 1/?
GoriddleGorilla
come to screeching halt, jump out, grab tools and tires and change it for me before jumping into car and taking off with barely a word 2/?
GoriddleGorilla
I’m sure I could change myself, but am forever grateful they could do it so quickly and kindly. This was back in days before cell phone 3/?

And I could not afford AAA back then. 4/4

Best advice my dad ever gave me, make sure you have the right emergency equipment, before you need it, especially your car.
RosesareRwby
I should specify, that it should be in a kit, in the vehicle….

My pop bought me my 1st AAA card in 1989. Sometimes I don't need it. Others, they're worth 5X what I pay annually. 3 tows, 50 miles. $96/yr.

Good luck to you!

Gotta be honest, I assume this ends in a spitroast, so OP really NEEDS luck to make it out or already has had great luck.

Mike and Kyle are angels. Fingers crossed on your teaching job. Pay it forward

I still have faith in the human race. There really are great people out there.

My grandpa's 4way was too thick for the space between my car's lug and the tire.

This sounds like a gay orgy metaphor that I don't understand.

The internet has ruined me. I managed to think of this entire statement as an innuendo.

WTF, in what world does a tire iron not fit the lugnuts on a vehicle? Are they not all standard size? (I'm not an automobile enthusiast)
Ccnati
There are a handful of standard sizes which is why a 4 way works but a 4 way is like most universal tools: functional but kinda crap.
BecomingJess
I like a well-made 4way iron. The Xpiece gives you good leverage & reach. Better than the L-shape crap they throw behind the seat any day.
Ccnati
I have a 19” L shaped one in my car. It’s just like using my 18” breaker bar at home. A 4 way is more size for no real benefit imo.
BecomingJess
w/ 4-way I can put my foot on one side and pull up on the other, popped lugs I could never get with the L-shaped one. *shrug*
rosaparksandrecreation
Swollen lug nuts can be a pretty big problem on nuts with chrome. They can become so swollen a 22mm socket won't fit a 21mm nut
cheddarhat
Used to sell tires. Always a bit awkward explaining swollen lug nuts to customers.
StickyKiwi
If your nuts are swollen, I have a good cure. Wait, what are we talking about again?
VerboseDood61
That's what I said!! The lug wrench is definitely stock, still in its molded Styrofoam spot. Must be aftermarket lugs...
Brookimus741
I would talk to whoever touched your tires last.
VerboseDood61
I just bought this used car, so maybe aftermarket lugs.

Sometimes with after market wheels they will use locking nuts which are keyed or sometimes different sized lugs.
StickyKiwi
Interesting, thanks for that info.
CommanderShitFace
Do they over better holding or is it a "my product my standard" kind of thing. I assumed all were within a single tolerance.
IHateApostrophes
It sounds like a security feature. Less likely to find your car sitting on cinder blocks. Just have to keep the right tire iron in your car.
Brookimus741
The carolla I used to drive had smaller ones than the standard tire iron my parents had. They just arent all the same.

Monsters taste like piss. I hate this stereotype so much I have to punch a hole in my wall whenever I see it.

Honestly, monster has one of the few non carbonated energy drinks on the market that tastes good, normal green monster os piss

Because it’s sterile and I like the taste.

Fair enough.
