A friend of mine's father passed away when he was doing an oil change under the car, the jack slipped and the car fell on him. RIP

Even when just swapping tires? |
He specifically said when you are working under the car. I hope you're not changing tires from there.
I think with tire changes you should be fine without jack stands since the car shouldn't be lifted for more then 5 minutes for each tire. Just make sure the car is stable so it doesn't slip off the jack when you are putting the tire on and taking it off.
