In our old 4/4 we once had a puncture on the A50 dual carriageway. Limped to a slip road and changed the wheel. Jacking on tarmac, the factory jack was perfectly adequate. No sign of toppling or slipping. In this instance, as it was a rear wheel, I jacked the car under the spring close to the rear axle so the lift required was minimal.
It was our wedding anniversary and by the time I had changed the wheel, we had lost interest in our planned run to Dovedale. Ended up in a nearby pub for lunch.

And these show the jack in question being used on the front in the pitstop challenge at Newmarket. This is the DonMog ladies team. ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2023/03/14/IMG_3931.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2023/03/14/IMG_3940.jpeg)

I always carry a can of that puncture repair stuff....not necessarily a permanent fix, but enough so you can maybe change the wheel in a safer place...
