"Knowing how to do stuff"

is generally out of favor, although the tire example is a little extreme.

I was surprised and saddened as a 40-something bachelor when I discovered that many/most women find the "check writer" man more attractive than the "DIY" man.

"Knowing how to do stuff" also requires an understanding of what opportunity cost is. I'm guilty of learning that one the wrong way.
