Flat tires are a bitch. I don’t care how adept you are at mechanical handiwork, changing it, especially when you have a destination in sight, someplace ya really wanna get to, is a pure pain in the ass.
Worse, yet, is when ya pull out your tire iron, jack and spare, get it all laid out…
And the very first freakin’ lug nut you tackle, you discover it has been rounded off by some heavy with a pneumatic wrench from your last rotation.
At this point, you either quit and call AAA, or rely on experience.
