R56: Lose the jack and lug wrench?
I just recently ditched my runflats for standard tires and am loving the better ride. To deal with the possibility of a flat, I bought a portable air compressor and have it hidden inside the left cargo panel. I also ordered a sizable tire repair kit and I want to store it where the jack and lug wrench are located in the subfloor. Would you just ditch the jack and tire changing tools for the needed space? I don't see much logic in having those tools if I don't even have a spare tire in the first place.

I have a Viair compressor and Dynaplug kit, I bought a small toolbag at Home Depot for $6 and keep everything in the trunk. The jack can come in handy for fixing a flat, it makes it easy to find whatever penetrated the tire and remove it.

Jack and tire don't take up enough room to ditch.
You still might need them in a pinch. |
Technically I dont see any need for them either. I dont have one in our R60 at all. Even with runflats I just carry a plug kit and compressor. Ive installed them into a runflat before. Standard tires would be no different.
Regardless...if the hole isnt pluggable or the tire is destroyed, its getting towed without any sort of actual spare tire! |
