What does checking the tyre pressure have to do with changing a wheel? Most people do know how to check their tyre pressure, but have never had to change a wheel. My car doesn't even have a spare tyre. If my tyre catastrophically fails in a way the emergency puncture repair kit can't fix, I'm just calling the recovery service. It might set me back a few hours, but I haven't even had a puncture in 15 years of driving so I'll take the hit. Moreover, what does it matter if someone knows how to check their tyre pressure, provided they know that it needs to be checked to keep the car safe, and where to take it to get it checked? Most garages here will do those sort of basic checks for free.
