Related pro tip, if you're changing a flat tire and don't have any jack stands, place the spare/damaged wheel under the car while you're working on it. Better to have the car fall on the wheel then potentially your leg

They really need to print this one on the spare tire.

Why would you be under a vehicle to change a flat? You just sitting at the wheel legs under the car?

If no one told you not to, you wouldn't know not to.

I do this anytime I take a wheel off, even with jack stands. Doesn't hurt anything and I'll take anything extra between the chassis and my head I can get.
