Non-runflat accessories
I am replacing the Goodyear runflats with the Goodyear F1 non-runflats. I need to get the following items:
1. small 12 volt air compressor
2. tire repair kit
3. fold up lug wrench
4. small jack (scissors type)
I want to keep these items as small as possible so that I can put them in the storage compartment in the back. I only concerned about the size of the jack. What do you all recommend. Any thoughts, ideas, comments or links to websights would be welcomed. Thanks in advace.

Non Run Flat Tool Kit
I picked a up self contained jack at a local junkyard for $6. It goes low enough to fit under the car even with a flat and fits in the center storage compartment.
Keep in mind, AAA wil not actually fix a flat on the spot, they will tow, or put on a spare.
In my case, I do go places where there is no cell coverage, so I absolutely have to be able to fix a flat in the field. Had to do it twice, and then wrote up the article.
I always tell everyone, think of the absolute worst conditions to fix a flat and prepare for it, for me it is raining on the side of the expressway on the muddy shoulder at night and the tire has to come off. You may never have to do it, but you will be very thankful if the time comes.
