Yes, it would be a good idea to have a small jack in the car. Otherwise, it may be hard to plug the puncture.

Jack Run Flats
I run non flats but have a can of pressurized tire sealer in trunk. In most cases this would get you to a tire dealer. My insurance company only charges $3 per year for towing.

I bought my Mecedes lift from C5 Fredrick in Germany. He's a forum member. Cost is $50 shipped to your door in about 5 weeks. He takes paypal. This little jack fits in my right rear compartment in my coupe.

You send him a PM or email
Good Luck,

I have non-runflats and this is my emergency repair kit. Electric scissors jack, tire plugs (the best quality ones) wire cutters to snip plug end off, gloves, knee pad, paper coveralls, flash light, road flares, folding four way lug wrench. It all fits in the center compartment except the jumper with the air compressor. I suggest getting a small RV tire inflater.

I have one of Frederik's jacks - very compact and stores hidden in one of the rear side bins. I also have a battery/12V compressor along with a plug kit with the various tools and disposables.
