Both my daughters were changing tires before they were allowed to get a driver's licence. I tried to avoid raising princesses.

Many years ago, my wife was driving back from a country town when she got a flat tyre. She rang me, and I drove out to change the tyre. When I got there, I saw the tyre was absolutely shredded. I asked her what happened? She said the tyre blew out further away, but there was no phone reception there. So she drove 5km on a flat tyre before she got phone reception and called me. I ended up having to replace the wheel as well. What could have been a $200 tyre replacement became $1500.

I taught her how to change a tyre after that.

Now, it can get even more "interesting", because many cars don't have a spare any more, just this "slime" thing to press into a punctured tyre, and a "toy" compressor. Like this:

If it's more than a puncture, or the "slime" is too old, good luck... I've been lucky once on a German Autobahn - even twice: I've noticed the flat tyre in a curve, at (IIRC) 170 km/h, and let the car roll out slowly, so nothing happened. Filled in the "slime" (well past its expiration date) and air, and drove home (about 100 km). After getting out of the car, the tyre looked OK. Next morning it was flat... BTW: I just realized, I have the same "patent" in my current car, and it's 8 years old. Time to replace the "slime" to avoid the same happening.
