Lotus7, thanks for this thread.
I basically got two jack pads because of it. Might come in handy when putting chains on the tires up in the mountains here (rarely happens, but CalTrans sometimes wants chains on AWD anyway).
Put them to use a couple of weekends ago after abusing the front tires in a remote part of Death Valley. One had a 2 inch gash on the sidewall, the other had a bubble on the sidewall. Getting two tires replaced meant the tire guys were going to lift the front of the car with floor jacks.
"Hold it!"
"I've got these things that go where you're supposed to lift the car".
Quizzical looks, but things got done right.
BTW, the run-flats are good for at least 40 miles of dirt roads (with 4 miles of snow) at 25-30MPH and 30 miles of paved at 45MPH.
