what kind of tires to buy

[Bixter44]

The Mercedes Jack is super-lightweight, made of some kind of alloy.
The Audi one may be the same.
Inexpensive, lightweight, small & easy to store.
I store/wrap mine in a plastic shower curtain to give you something to lay on at the side of the road.
Oh.. and don’t forget to also have a jacking puck or two as well.
Thanx for posting the video... that’s great.

Yup, never leave home without your jacking pucks.

Thanks for the info about your jack. With exchange, PST and GST it's $300. The exchange sure takes the fun out of shopping in America. Seems like a lot of money til I am sitting on the side of the road with a flat and can't get at the puncture to dynaplug it, without removing the wheel. After I have wasted a few hours trying to find a similar jack for less money on the net, I will order it.

Thomas, I put Continental DWS06 all seasons on my second set of rims. They are not run flats, but are a perfomance tire, which are good if you end up encountering mild snow or ice also. I wanted a tire that I could feel confident driving in the mountains in spring and fall. I can confirm they have a nice ride and are much quieter than runflats. After 20000 km on these, they are wearing very slowly, ton's of meat left. I am prepared for minor flats with a jack, wheel wrench, plug kit and compressor. Purchased thru Quatro tires down East, very reasonably priced. Read the reviews, higly recommended.

i ended up getting the Continental DWS06, got a decent price on them. love them so far. really nice ride.
