Tire jack and tire iron

Post by Len-Dogg »

Has anybody used the tire jack that is included in our cars? The reason that I ask is that I am going to be switching my rims and tires soon, and I wanted to know if this thing is any good, or a piece of junk. I would like to do it myself if I can, but I want decent equipment. Also is there a tire iron in there somewhere?
Thanks,

I used a floor jack for the fron two, and the one that came with my friends honda accord for my rear, I didnt have mine on me, it worked fine, but I hate using those kinds of jacks.

Our jacks are total trash. I hate them. I must be missing something because i always have to turn the screw thing with a screw driver, it takes me forever. Maybe if i had that piece your suppose to turn it with it wouldnt be quite as bad...but still...floor jacks rule!!
