Easter noon at the grocery store and we have a disabled Red Leaf 2. No spare (as most of you know). No jack either. Cute little air pump with the hidden button does a respectable job of producing a hissing sound from a hole in the sidewall. Now what Leaf Lovers?
Go get the Suzuki SX4 and your floor jack. Use the Suzuki scissors jack to get the Leaf high enough to get the
floor jack under it. The lower rocker panel pinch weld looks like its marked for that. Use a foot hop on the end of the stubby lug wrench to brake loose the lug nuts and remove tire/wheel.
See if the Suzuki temporary spare will fit. It kind of does, good enough to drive it slowly home to it's garage.
You Leafers might want to find out in advance how far away the nearest replacement tire is.
I would be shocked to hear that all of them are not riding on Bridgestone Ecopia 422. 205/55 R16.
