Can you change a tire?

The last tire I changed was in a parking lot, I had a baby in the car, both arms in bandaged splints, and nobody helped me much less offer......

Julie, do you have a motoring assistance organisation in the U.S.

We have AAA roadside assistance, which costs around $60 per year. I've used it for years, tow service and tire changes, keys locked in car, dead battery.... worth it if only used once!

This was pre-everything days (cell phones) and too strapped to feed my baby, buy gas, or support my beer habit.... I've got AAA now and used it twice.....and don't drink.....

I understand the process and probably could, but have never had to do so.

If necessary, one telephone call...."Hello C.A.A"? (Canadian Automobile Association or AAA in the U.S.)

I taught my ex to change a tire. She later had a flat and did change it herself. Two days later tire came off because she put the lug nuts on backwards.

The first and last time I changed a tire was with the assistance of my grandfather who was trying to teach me basic car maintenance. As a female who has grown up in Texas, I'm embarrassed to say, I don't think I could change a tire on my own to save my life. Repetition is what is needed for something to click with me. With the state my arms are still in it would be impossible for me to change a tire even if I knew what to do.
