I do know how. I've changed many a tire and I also have changed my oil and brakes. I believe that you should know how to do basic maintenance on your car just in case you get stuck somewhere.
ditto

Re: Spinoff: Do you know how to change a tire?
yes I do! First time I had to change a tire I was in college and the girls I was with had no clue. So I got her jack out, and changed it.
Then I had to change my own when one morning I was heading to the gym only to find a flat tired. (I know most would have used that as reason enough to go back to bed) So I changed it to the spare, had it repair, then went to the gym
Now.....I call my road-side I cannot be bothered!

Re: Spinoff: Do you know how to change a tire?
yep, my father and brother (both mechanics) made sure I knew how to change a tire when I started driving. My brother even taught me how to do a tune up, including gapping the spark plugs lol

Re: Spinoff: Do you know how to change a tire?
Yep. DH is a mechanic & we grew up around the same group of friends when we were in HS.....they were all gear heads & we spent all of our free time fixing & re-building cars. I don't know as much as they did, but I can change a tire, my oil, air filter and even my brakes on a car (but not my truck...those mothers are big!)
I keep asking DH to get a project car again so I can learn more. I'd love to get my hands on a T-bucket & restore it.

Re: Spinoff: Do you know how to change a tire?
Yes, but it's not something I want to do on my truck (each tire is 70 lbs + ).
I'm paying my insurance company a sh*tload of money, I might as well get something out of it.

Re: Spinoff: Do you know how to change a tire?
I don't, but I think it's really important to know how to. One of these days, I plan to have DH show me how and make me do it.

Re: Spinoff: Do you know how to change a tire?
I've changed too many to remember... DW does know how, but I have car service, so if it happens, she can just call for help. I will definitely be teaching DS and DD car mechanic basics. I believe that even if you don't work on the car yourself, it's good to know what is going on, and if the mechanic says "Looks like you need a new transmission.", you can reply, "No, moron, I just need a new starter."

Re: Spinoff: Do you know how to change a tire?
I've done it. It felt like such a great accomplishment, afterward. Phew.
In two other cases, while I was attempting to, a man came and took over. So nice!

Re: Spinoff: Do you know how to change a tire?
Yes, I had to change it, out the donut on and drive to Frankies and have them put a new one on. The first thing I learned to do after I got my license. Its a must when you have a not so handy DH.

Re: Spinoff: Do you know how to change a tire?
I have no idea how to do it. The concept I understand - but its the act of doing it not so much.

Re: Spinoff: Do you know how to change a tire?
I know how to, but I don't think I could physically do it for my SUV.
Based on how much I see DH struggle when he does it, I just don't think I have the strength.

ITA!
I grew up under the hood of a car so I do a lot of my own maintenance.
I put my "summer" tires & rims on evey spring.
I think everyone who operates a vehicle should at least know how to change a tire & also drive stick.
But I understand how if you've never had to do it, you wouldn't really know how.
