FINDLAY, Ohio, Jan. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent survey conducted by Cooper Tires found that the majority of Americans say they can change a tire. With younger generations, especially millennials, buying fewer cars than older generations, the prevalence of basic car skills and the ability to handle road mishaps, such as a flat tire, might appear to be waning. However, Cooper® found that almost three-fourths of Americans say they are confident they know how to change a tire.

"Our survey found that 81% of respondents have experienced a flat tire so, unfortunately, this is something that most drivers will face," said Jessica Egerton, Director, Brand Development, Cooper Tire & Rubber Company. "We want all drivers to be prepared for and armed with tire-change know-how and Cooper® offers step-by-step instructions on installing a spare tire on your car to get you back on your way until you can reach a mechanic."
In addition to better understanding Americans' abilities when it comes to changing a tire, the survey also uncovered interesting links between habits, preferences, and tire change know-how.
Key findings include:
People who make (and keep) New Year's resolutions know how to change a tire
There's no generation gap (or so people say)
Right-handed or left-handed? No difference here
Hot beverage drinkers are tire-change savvy
