Yep, same with my dad. All of us girls (3 of us)were taught how to change a car tire before we were permitted on the road.

I could still change a tire,but due to back surgery,have been warned not to try it.

I have AAA Plus,but in a pinch I could change a tire if I had to.

I do have a gripe with those power tools, that put the lugs on. Not sure I have the strength to take them off when they use them.

Run down to your local auto parts store and pick up a "Gorilla Wrench." It has an extendable handle that will give you enough leverage to easily remove the tightest lug nuts, yet collapses into a size easily stored alongside your jack in whatever cubby hole your car provides for that purpose.

I have one in every vehicle.

I understand. Many newer vehicles have very specific torque specifications for lug nuts. Often over 100 ft lbs. Just a suggestion but Harbor Freight sells a 12 volt impact wrench that will easily get you through one tire change.
