Every time I change a tire I think about the growing population who has no idea how to.

Might mean that it would be a good business to be in.
Skilled service tech in general will be solid for the coming decades.
It's been a while since I changed a tyre. Used to be standard car ownership back in the day. My last tyre change was on reaching the south west of Ireland in my golf TDi. Swapped it over real quick and carried on my way.
Lefty loosy, righty tighty!

last time I got a flat it was on a major interstate in a truck I’d owned maybe 6 months. pulled over, dropped the fullsize spare, broke loose the lug nuts, and pumped up the bottle jack. this will be a piece of cake. tried to wrestle the wheel off but it was not coming. wtf. are there some kind of wheel locks on this thing? inspect, pull, kick, ponder, repeat. google it. felt like a lifetime. eventually I pull out the axe (always carry an axe) and take a swing at the tire with the blunt side. knocks loose. WHEW.
Fathers should never let their kids drive or ride with friends before they know how to change a tire.
Damn that shit looks brand new too! I can't even see the metal banding yet. Sorry brother.
Yeah new tires. Replaced another one a couple months ago as well. Luck of the draw. This one looks like a saw blade or broken key.
It’s fucked.
That little bastard. I remember I got my new car around the time we moved into our new house the whole neighbor hood was being built and I had a flat three times in about 6 months. On round 3 t was a slow leak so I just filled that mofo up every morning until it finally gave out.
I drive on a lot of constructions sites. It comes with the territory.
