i was wondering if anyone of you actually buy those hydraulic car carrier when u travel out , in case your tyre puncture? it's kinda bulky . The one supplied by the car manufacturer i find difficult to use bcos have to turn so many time manually with a metal bar. This can be dangerous when stall on the highway. Any suggestion to alternative method to change tyre in a shortest time?

i don't like the one which the mechanic usually use, it's so big and bulky. sometimes when driving around the steep corner, can hear it roll at the back and hitting the car..

Keep a bottle of those temporary instant tyre repair filler. Then when ur stuck with a puncture in a deserted and dangerous looking place, just fill your tyre with it, drive away to a safer place then only change your tyre.

i would not recommend this. i use to keep this but after some time, the foam becomes liquid when press, probably because of heat or it exceed expiry date. that's the reason y we never know when the time we need it , it fail to work.

Get the DC 12v electric motor powered scissor car jack.
Fast and effortless rclxm9.gif but expensive moneyflies.gif compared to hydraulic bottle jack.

the L bar and scissor jack they provided is more than adequate already..just loosen the nuts cross section while the tyre is level on the ground, use your leg and bodyweight...then only jack up..similar prosedure to tighten when on the ground... torgue is like few "tick" sounds, 2-3 ticks, or 1/16 of the circumference.

difficult and dangerous. even 10 seconds on the highway consider dangerous. so u want it fast and remove your panic fear when changing tyre. u need the fast system. moreover, imagine the burning sensation of your palm when u do it.

i have a second thought about this air compressor. if a tyre is burst on the highway, this compressor is totally useless i presume. it's only good for slow leakage of air if it happen outside the home or town car park. for highway, my guess is beyond repairable . the leak is too big and even if u pump, a few meter will puncture again if travel to find a workshop is out of vicinity.
