The jack stand keeps the car up, and the exposed hub off the ground, if the jack fails.How did jack stands enter this thread? You do not need to go under the car to change a tire! Do not go under the car! Just change the tire. No jack stand required.
If I change the wheels on my car myself, I'll use my floor jack on a side point, add a jack stand to the other point on the same side, and put chocks under the wheels still on the ground.
(I'd prefer to use the front or rear jack points under the car, but I still haven't been able to find them with my own eyes despite seeing pictures on here, and I don't think my floor jack will reach)
