I'm changing the wheels by myself, spring and fall. Changing the tires isn't an option, even for those who don't change by themselves. Around here there are "wheel hotels" where people keep their winter/summer tires, and when the first snow is on the way people are queuing up for the hotels to find their stored wheels and changing them. Hundreds of cars in a few days. Having to actually change the tires would make for a way too slow process (not to mention that my winter tire wheeld use very different wheel rims than my summer tire wheels). As for flat tires.. the last time that happened to me was a few years ago. Not common these days. Except on some particular roads in the region.. the locals have complained for years that they get flat tires all the time. And that's an island, there are no towing services nearby.
