After cleaning my rear wheel sensors, I had trouble getting the tires back on. Aligning the studs with the holes is not easy with the tires being so heavy. I can imagine having a flat on a dark night, would be a challenge. For this car maybe a space saving spare would be more practical!

 

that's what a wife is for .

 

or the roadside assistance on your insurance your paying for.

 

I think my wife could handle it, its my girlfriend i'm concerned about!

 

What's your spare look like? I'm looking to get rid of my space-saver for a full-size.

 

you guys are killing me ...

 

Don't forget that you can lower the jack height and avoid some unneeded tire lifting. Still having trouble? If you have a magazine somewhere in the car you can slide it under the tire you're trying to mount. Doing so will allow the tire to move around a bit more freely than a tire that is in contact with the highly tractive road surface. The other option has been noted saying that if you have a ton of time and don't need to be anywhere in the next hour or two - call roadside assistance,

Nice

 

Your wife and myself have been out when we got a flat, she can't handle it.
