What to do if you get a flat leaving Hersheypark Stadium

Safe steps to handle a flat tire near Hershey, and what to do next if you can't change it yourself.

Pull to a safe, level spot

Signal, roll slowly to a flat area away from traffic, set your hazards, and engage the parking brake. Avoid stopping on curves exiting the parking lots onto Hersheypark Dr. A well-lit area is ideal, especially at night.

Assess the damage

Look for sidewall gashes, rim damage, or visible punctures. If it's a simple nail in the tread, you may be able to drive slowly to a shop. Sidewall damage means the tire is done—don't attempt to drive on it.

Check your spare

If you have a temporary spare, verify it's inflated (most need 60 PSI). Many modern vehicles don't include a spare—check your owner's manual. If you're not comfortable changing it yourself, that's okay.

If you need roadside assistance or a tow, here are two affordable local options:
