If you get a flat tire on a busy Nashville road, your first priority is a safe stopping position away from moving traffic whenever possible. Turn on your hazard lights, avoid standing in a live traffic lane, and do not attempt a tire change in an unsafe location.
Understand the roadside situation
When the vehicle is safely positioned, inspect the situation from a safe place. If you have a usable spare tire and enough clearance, mobile spare tire installation may be an option. If the tire has a common tread puncture and the damage is suitable for repair, a mobile tire service may be able to help on location.
Choose the safest practical next step
On high-speed roads such as I-40, I-24, I-65, I-440 and Briley Parkway, roadside conditions can change quickly. If the shoulder is too narrow, visibility is poor or the vehicle is exposed to traffic, prioritize safety and follow emergency guidance for the situation.
