If you changed from run-flat tires to regular tires, what do you do with Jackie?
I put a pantograph type on it, but Mercedes' Jackie seemed to fit, so I installed it and it was fine.
The space in the trunk is also reduced, which is very satisfying

If you mean for while you're out driving, then I see there being no point without a spare wheel!
I just carry a can of Tyreweld :thumbsup:

If for when you're home, then I have a trolley jack and axle stands.

I found jacking the car up gave you a better fighting chance to inspect the issue causing the puncture / access the site / spin the wheel to distribute the gunk.. :thumbsup:
 
Not a bad idea although I would prefer to carry my tyreweld can with trolley Jack at home.
I need to invest in a new low height jack having just bought my car.
 
Space saver wheel. I know it takes up space, had one in boot 10 years now.......never needed it in anger.
Don't put jack behind drivers seat, sets alarm off.
 
I have a full size front wheel as a spare, although it does mean I don't have much boot space left!

I bought a jack from a BMW E46 from Quarry Motors and it fits the jacking points on the Z4 perfectly. Also carry a breaker bar and torque wrench, some Tyreweld and RAC membership card. The jack sits inside the wheel with a jumper pack, code reader and other essentials.

Proper belt and braces approach,but when I'm on a trip 400/500 or more miles from home I don't want it ruined by a puncture.
 
I carry everything I need to fix a puncture. Rats tails, glue, compressor, jack, wheel lock nut, wheel wrench. Have repaired two punctures at the side of the road in ten years, a third puncture was a blowout, not fixable. It's surprisingly easy. Helps that I generally only drive my sports cars when the sun is out. :driving: :thumbsup:

My daily has a spare. :wink:
