    I'm genuinely terrified of getting a flat to the point where I won't drive the car more than 20 min away. The car is lowered on coilovers AND has side skirts AND has a diffuser. A low profile jack can barely get under it as it sits (I'm not even sure if it can). If it drops another inch due to a flat, I'm not sure how the heck I get it up in the air.

    I need to invent a jack that grabs the car by by the wheels so I can get the car up high enough to get another jack under it, lol.

    Lol, if I could get the wheel in that, I wouldn't need it.
    I'm talking about a mini fork lift type lift. 8" gap between the forks and 14" deep forks. Obviously, a lot of difficulties with lever arms and making it remotely portable. Probably doesn't exist for a reason.

    It lifts the tire. Don’t need to put a tire down onto it.

    If you can't get a Harbor Freight jack under the car I'm not sure you could get the tire jacks under the car either.

    Get you one of these! An AC DK13HLQ. I love mine, super low, easy to get replacement parts, and you can go deep with the grab of the lift.

    Yup. There's zero chance that gets under my car. The front wheels definitely don't make it. that's why it needs to be like a mini fork lift.

    The front BARELY clears low profile ramps. I got the lowest profile jack I could find (2.75") and I can't get that underneath- it's super close so I only need to go up a piece of plywood. Drop the front another inch due to a flat and I'm not sure what I would do. I have some pieces of lumber in the car I could roll up. I could also jack up the other front corner and hope that gets high enough to lift the opposite side enough to get another jack under there.

    Nightmare on the side of the highway for sure.

    I added the Doug Shelby hocky puck thing to the center rear of the car. Probably could get a jack under it even with a flat. Lift the car and put it down on some pieces of wood then use the normal jacking points.

    One other thought. I have, somewhere, a super low profile, billet, scissors jack. It is like 1" thick. I haven't tried it on the Viper but I will.

    The flat joke is almost as good as Bud Light hiring a trans as their spokesperson. Oh wait ….

    Have them on my gen 3, couldn't imagine a better street tire. Also had them on my 2016Z06. Great tires.

    A local member was complaining about the handling of his 2004 Gen 3. It had Nitto tires on it when he got it. I recommended the Michelin Pilot 4S. He bought them and couldn't believe how different the car behaved. He is very happy now.

    tires are the easiest and best upgrade can do to a car. Most people highly underestimate what a simple mod it is
