What is a tire bar?

A tire bar, also known as a pry bar or a lug wrench, is a metal tool used to loosen and remove lug nuts or bolts that hold a wheel in place on a vehicle. It typically consists of a long, metal bar with a hexagonal or square head on one end that fits over the lug nuts or bolts. The other end of the bar is often flattened or curved, allowing for leverage when applying force to turn the lug nuts or bolts. Tire bars come in various lengths, with longer bars providing more leverage for stubborn or rusted lug nuts. They are commonly included in vehicle toolkits and are essential for changing tires or wheels on a vehicle.
