How do you get the tire off of a Saturn Ion 2003?

To remove the tire from a 2003 Saturn Ion, first ensure the car is on a flat surface and engage the parking brake. Loosen the lug nuts slightly while the tire is still on the ground, then use a jack to lift the vehicle until the tire is off the ground. Remove the lug nuts completely and take the tire off the wheel hub. Finally, place the tire aside and lower the vehicle back down if needed.
