It’s not that difficult, even if you use the shitty stuff that comes in the spare tire kit

I guess the issue comes in when I realize that tires are heavy if all you’re used to holding is tendie plates and Molotov’s

you can't patch a tire that has the sidewalls pierced. I'm laughing cuz they've probably never even put on a donut.

Putting on a donut or new tire is easy, my first time I had to do it in high school when I got a flat.

Nobody changes their own tires anyway unless they’re a farm person or has one of those hydraulic machines that puts the tire on the wheel. You drive or have your car towed to the tire store and wait while they do it.

Changing a tire over to spare is ridiculously easy, a jack, tire iron, spare tire, 5-8 minutes usually and back rolling again. Hydraulic machines is a broad list tools. From jacks, lifts and even sheers and the classically known Jaws of Life are all hydraulic machines

Changing a tire to a spare isn't the same as changing the tire on the spare

Ya that’s what he’s going to need unless he’s got 4 spare wheels with tires on them at home. He Can’t patch sidewalls and all those slashed tires need to be removed from the wheels eventually.

If it’s possible to do by yourself without a machine I’m curious. In my 40 Years and growing up on the sticks, I’ve never seen someone actually do it on a road car.

Guess I am nobody then. Why act like a pussy cuck when its easy to change a tire?

Did you remove the tire from the actual wheel and put on a new one? How did you balance it by hand?

Taking the entire wheel off a car via lug nuts is simple. Changing a tire is removing the rubber from the wheel and putting new rubber onto the wheel.

I feel like im in a thread of people who either don’t own a car or don’t understand tire change vs wheel change

I think people misunderstood your comment ridiculously. (or there's more based DIY pedes here than I imagined)

I once got a flat driving in the Florida summer. My car had a black paint job; and was so hot that all of the tools expanded from the heat and i could not remove them from their fixtures no matter how hard I pulled.

The shame of calling AAA to help with a flat will always stay with me.

I hate the stock jack and lug wrench, but damn if using them isn't a decent form of strength training, lol.

I had to use that garbage after I didn't realize that old tires can die even if the tread is good. Replace old tires before the election folks, you don't want to be stuck near commies. 6-10 years or less is old depending on climate.
