There’s a lot of craziness happening in zombies mode and knowing how to repair tire for vehicles will come in handy. There are many challenges you’ll have to go through in Modern Warfare 3’s zombies mode but they often reward you handsomely if completed. 

One particularly challenging objective that’s been puzzling players is the repair of a vehicle’s tires, which is one of the first tasks in Act One during a mission titled Road Rage. The mission requires you to repair a vehicle’s tire to complete it but it is not a straightforward procedure. So if you aren’t already playing zombies solo, we suggest you give it a try. For now, here’s how to repair a tire in MW3.

How to repair tire in MW3

To repair a vehicle tire in Modern Warfare 3, you simply need to aim at the tire with your weapon and shoot it. Once you’ve damaged the tire, enter the vehicle and drive it to a gas station for repairs. 

The process of repairs will see the vehicle gradually regain fuel and damage levels will increase as well. So once the car has been fixed at the gas station, the tires you damaged will also be repaired, allowing you to complete the first task in Act One.

While traversing the expansive map in MW3’s Zombies mode, you can replenish the fuel and repair any damaged vehicles, except for those you find at blockades that are completely destroyed. These sorts of vehicles cannot be repaired at a gas station; instead, you should seek out a different vehicle to transport yourself and your comrades across the battlefield. 

Also, unlike other repairs, replacing a damaged tire doesn’t require any extra items or equipment. It’s automatically replaced when you visit a gas station. And it’s worth adding that it can be hard to find or locate gas stations every now and then but you can also get lucky and find one almost instantly. 

But if you’re having difficulty locating a gas station, we suggest checking your map for a gas station icon. With that said, you should have no problems completing the Act One challenge of fixing a tire in MW3 zombies mode.
