I changed one this morning
Me too baw.
I posted in the GMT that a kid was giving me a utility trailer with a shredded tire. I took it off, went and had a new one put on, re-installed it, then pulled it 38 miles home.

Don't change them unless necessary. I carry a plug kit and a small compressor powered by my cigarette lighter plug-in.
This only works if the offending nail/screw/metal is in the tread portion. Pull the nail, ream out the hole with the supplied rasp, slip a strip of the plug material in the tool then push it in far enough to go inside the tire and quickly pull on the tool to remove it but leave the plug in the tire. Then air up and be on your way.
I've done this dozens of times on both my truck and the wife's car with no problems.

the whole I needed to stick the long rod to lower the spare down.
Such a stupid way to have to access a spare tire.

Where else would you put it on a truck?

My first vehicle was an 81 Sierra and it was under the bed too. That truck was a mule too. Wish I still had it. Looked like this.

get stuck in the mud and tear one off the rim...
truck stuck in the mud, sitting down on the spare...
next thoughts are going to be "WTF would they put the spare there for?"...

Last year on the side of I10 outside of Beaumont where it’s two lanes and people were speeding by me while I’m laying in sticker grass two feet tall trying to situate the shitty jack

On way home from office. Wife called and she had a flat with our kids in the car about 2 miles from our house.

Over the summer. Came out to a flat tire in my garage. I’m glad my dad taught me how to change them.

In Wales, last April, rental car Audi A7.
Something I ran over cut the tyre, had about a minute of drive time to find a safe place to pull off before it went all the way down.

I have AAA for that
I was with a friend who got a flat tire.
It was 5pm traffic and he insisted we wait for AAA to come because “that is what I pay the fee for”.
1.5 hrs later and we are on our way. We could have changed it in less than 20 mins.

I think it was in the 1990’s.
It must suck to be poor.

Replaced both back tires on the cotton picker a couple months ago. It took damn near all morning and liberal amounts of soap.
