Yeah,

The basic rule of jacking up the car is still there:
- Chock the diagonal wheel, if replacing LF tire, then chock the RR tire. Get bricks, rocks or wood and chock BOTH the fore and aft part of the tire.
- Get the spare tire out ahead of time and verify pressure.
- The surface is important: concrete is best. If not, then place a small piece of plywood under the jack.
- Then quickly swap the tire, it should not take more than 15 sec of the time when the car has no tire on.

PS: Avoid replacing flat tire on the side of the road or highway shoulder. It is potentially deadly, especially now that people are more distracted than ever.
Get the car into a parking lot or gas station and get far off the road, even if you have to destroy the tire. A tire is still cheaper than your life...
