Your tire blows 1 mile from your exit off I-15:
-Have your brother-in-law watch for a good place to pull off
-Have same brother-in-law unload trunk and get spare out
-Have brother-in-law change tire
-Load trunk while brother-in-law cleans his hands with baby wipes
This was my situation a few weekends ago. Thankfully Cami and James rode with me on our trip to my nephew Bradley's ordination in Tooele. I don't know what I would have done without them! Especially with two boys in the car. Probably panicked. This was my first experience with ANY flat tire on the inter-state, and I think I handled it well thanks to James. He changed that tire in 10 minutes! I've never seen one changed so fast. We then followed my Mom and Dad home going 45 miles an hour. LONGEST 2 1/2 hour ride home EVER! Needless to say NO ONE in my car is allowed to complain about following parents home in their shaky-trailer-truck because they'll only be going 50 mph. Bad carma.
Oh the fun didn't stop there either. After our camping trip for UEA, I came back to my "Dollar Car" dead. OH and we can't forget the flat tire with a screw in it. Thanks to my awesome brother Logan and my awesome Dad, they started the car (which died because a certain little 2 year old left some rear-view mirror lights on) and switched the tire. The tire turned out to be an easy $11.00 fix and we're all good now. So in 1 month I took care of 2 tires and a dead battery! WOO HOO! (not)
My fixin car days are over for now. They work, but I still need to buy new tires for my Nissan. So if you know of any good deals for 18 inch rims out there PLEASE let me know!

We always buy our tires at Les Schwab because they have a warranty on them and they guanantee them for the life of the tire. Plus if you need to make payments they have an awesome 90 days same as cash program.
