Are you capable of changing a tyre on a car?

Yes, though my boss has a 1996 toyota forerunner where the spare is at the back underneath and you have to put together three rods and insert it through the back bumper and "wind down" the spare and then unhook it!!!!.

Hate to do that if it was raining...... and even for your average capable person it would be a dam struggle

I've never done it and never seen it done, so I'll say no. If I ever learned to drive, I imagine learning how to do that would be something I would get round to.

I don't know as I've never been in a situation where I had to do this.

yes

Yep.

Yes, I've done it many times.

I'm capable of doing it, but I'd call AAA if I was in the US. If it was here in HK, I'd call our office and have them call someone. (It would be very dangerous to change a tire here as there is typically no space to pull over and change your tire or do anything else, for that matter.)

Yep, I can change a tire. My father showed me how to do it when I was a little kid.

Yes, have done it many, many tymes.

I've never had to do it myself, but I've seen it done enough times to have a fair crack at it. All the required stuff is in the boot of my car and I know the right place to position the jack under the chassis.

Being that I've only owned trucks, this is my typical routine.

I've done it once, maybe twice. Though, I would spell it "tire".

no....I get someone else to do it

No, but I can sure as heck call AAA!

yes, i can replace the tire on my car. i used to be really good and fast at it but i haven't had to change one in a while so it takes a bit more time. also the guns they use to put the tires on make it harder now!

Yes.

Yes, at least in theory. Although I guess I'd be screwed if there's not actually a wrench in the trunk, along with the spare. However, I am also quite capable of calling VW Roadside Assistance and getting them to come do it for me!

It's 'tires' to the rest of the world.

So? We all have to put up with American spellings most of the time - nothing wrong with having a British spelling from time to time. One isn't superior to the other...

I wasn't saying anything was wrong. You have to 'put up with' American spelling?

They hurt my eyes

unfotunatly no.

btw: is this a biggles survey.

I guess not

No, not at all.

Yes, I've even taught others how to do it.

No, I don't think I can pick it up. At least my dad thinks I can't.

Yes I can. And if I stop to help someone on the side of the road, I teach them how to do it instead of doing it for them. I've done the same with my mom and sis....everyone (male and female) should learn how for their own safety.

It's tire, not tyre.

Yes, I've done before and I know nothing about cars or mechanics... it's not that hard.

I'm not completely dumb when it comes to changing a tire. I've practiced before, but if I needed to change a flat, I'd probably be slow and inefficient to change it. My car know-how isn't the greatest.

And another thing, it's "tire", not "tyre". Unless you're from a different country and thats how it's spelled there.

Yes.

It's easy i do it all the time!!!!!

Sorry, was bored and was going through my old surveys.......... changing the tyre like that is a pain.......... I know many people who purchase the rear door mount so the wheel is bolted on the back like a Land Rover discovery............its crap if someone rear ends you though

I've never seen this on a pickup truck (in the US). It's somewhat standard on the SUVs

forgive me yes SUV. ........ I know people who padlock the spare inside the bed though

It's quite alright, I grew up calling a full sized conversion vans 'trucks'

Totally capable of changing a tire/tyre today. Use to do a lot of car stuff "back in the olden days" especially with my 1959 MG-A. We "blueprinted" the engine and got registered in the MG log, back in 1968 I believe. Loved that little car, it was red.
