Would you consider knowing how to change a car tire a safety issue?

Could be if someone does it improperly and the wheel comes off that would defiantly be a safety issue.Would you consider knowing how to change a car tire a safety issue?
I sure would . It may happen at a time or place where u would not want to wait for auto service.Would you consider knowing how to change a car tire a safety issue?
Yeah it could be. If you can change your own tire you don't need to sit there on the side of the road stranded waiting for someone else to change it.
absolutely! tires are the ONLY component supporting the several thousand pound machine mooving at speeds in upwards of 70 miles an hour on a hard surface. one tiny nail size whole can cause this heavy machine to roll over on the road! at higher speeds roll means several times as well. loose lugs can cause steering control problems leading to loss of control and crashing. add setting at night on dark street waiting for assistance in a bad area. damage to a car from blow out and driving with a flat can be expensive too
I don't know if it's a safety issue but EVERYONE that drives should know how to change a tire including putting the lug nuts on right and tightening them in the proper sequence
Definitely! you NEED to know how to change a tire, you never know where you'll get a flat... it may be somewhere you don't want to be for very long waiting on someone to come help you out.
Yes. In this age of cell phones, it's less important...

BUT, what if you're out of cell range, are broke (no $$$), and/or no one to call who can reach you in a reasonable amount of time?



Everyone who drives a car should know how to do some very basic things:



How to frieakin' drive! (sorry, couldn't resist)



How to fill their fuel tank properly (to prevent spills or other accidents)



How to check their fluids (Oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, coolant, etc...)



How to add fluids (correct types, and how to avoid spills, over-fills, burns and other accidents)



How to check tire pressure (and how to choose a tire pressure), check tire condition (normal wear and irregular wear), and select proper replacement tires



How to change a tire safely (and when to drive on it or not)



How to jump start a car (hooking directly from battery to battery is still not a good idea...)



How to follow a maintenance schedule

No because there'll always be some idiot like me who will come and change it for you (as long as you're not driving a luxury car). Unless it's a drop down spare...they can just rot with their goofy drop down spares!



Men shouldn't have a problem doing it unless they're just...well...not men. I just don't think most women can actually change a tire because of the weight involved...and the torque on the lugs. So they can't really be faulted for not knowing or wanting to know how to change a tire. That's not sexist that's the truth! Tire with wheel weighs at least 40 pounds probably closer to 50 with 17-18'; alloy wheels; can a 120 pound woman actually lift that without exploding? Let me check youtube.



Now if you ask about changing tires on say a lifted truck with huge tires...well then...I don't think that's physically possible without a lift.
