Could you change a flat tyre on your own, if you had too?

Do you have what it takes to change a flat tyre? Are you able to this on your own? Have you ever experienced changing a flat tyre?... I have changed a flat tyre on my own and I did pretty well on my own... How about you? Post up and let me know... Thanks for the comments...

Yes, definantly. I had one problem on one car. My 4WD, I am tiny and just did not have the physical strength to actually pick up the tyre, it weighed more than me, so lucky I had someone stop to help me..

Dear nardz13, Changing flat tyre is not a big thing. I did change of flat tyre many a times. When we use to cross forest road we used to keep two tyres ready. The roads were such we were sure we would face the flat tyre business. At one time we had to wait for more than 5 hours in the mid of forest for changing the tyres for third time as we had already changed two stock typres.

I have been shown twice how to change a tyre and it does seem to be easy but I just don't have the strength to undo the nuts, and I would hate it if I did myself and lose one of my tyres because I didn't have the nuts done up tight enough.

Hey. Yes your not wrong there, the nuts can be screwed on so tight that you end up fighting to get them off, so to speak lol... Thanks for your response...

I have watched someone do it in the Movies and my foster mother and later my husband would change the tire when there was a flat, but I figured let someone else do it. I don't drive, although I did have to help hold up the car when he was doing it. I remember he said that the spare tire was a bit smaller than the regular, so we must have been driving lopsided after that.

Hey. LOL lopsided... Wow you helped to hold up the car... It is a good thing to know, if your a driver and especially if you get a flat and on your own... Thanks for your response...

I can change a tire on my own, and I've done it a few times.
