Jack was dirt cheap, even fits in back side holder with quart of oil, and I need in case tire shreds, whole wheel could be taken to tire store instead of towing car.
Also, I need to be able to take wheels off and change brake pads.
I've had vehicles that ran 100k miles and never jacked or changed pads since I'm a watchful braker.
I would only plug in places that can't be patched to try to save tire. If it's in center tread, I'm gonna get to Discount tire. I had a new Michelin PSS that was going flat in a week so aired up and drove over there.
