Yes, but it is a catch-22. Folding tires are a breeze for replacing inner tubes on the side of the road, can pretty much do it without spoons. The catch is with the proper tires you won't be flatting. If you intend to change out your tires more often, the folding tires are very helpful as well.

I come from having to spoon out my motorcycle tires in the dead of winter where I always wind up with at least one bloody hand so the whole folding tire thing for bicycles is like a mobility nirvana to me.

You can also carry a folding tire on your person for long rides, but again, with the right tires, they are going to be pretty bulletproof.
