As our cars lack spare tire (J11) Nissan has found it appropiate not to place a spare tire but an inflation bottle.

I want to buy a car jack but not sure which one to get. Do you have any information on how high the car needs to be lifted to be able to change the tire ?

Most 2 ton capacity jacks will do to easily access tyres.
Lidl have them from time to time.

You could do with updating your forum profile to show your location, as your spelling of tyre
indicates you are perhaps not UK based :?:

Thanks for the information. The last jack I tried to use, it actually didn't lift the car high enough. So I am wondering if anyone has idea on which to choose. (Last one I tried was a 2 ton model).

Thank you all for the support. I happened to get this one as I could not find one like one DaveBerlin advised.

It generally fits under 181 mm clearance and lifts up to 345 mm max.

Worse of all is, as the temperatures just hit around -4C I have to change all four tires in the cold...brrr...

Wiseguy, just got back from Florida 35C and your talking about -4C Burrrrr in Finland. We got home last night and the neighbour was parked changing his wheels (trying - seized bolt) across the road. I have been using our Nissan Dealer to change and store our wheels for many years now which is very convenient no lugging 19“ wheels in the garage or cellar. Changing, Re-installing, Washing, Checking, Light Test, TPMS Check - Cost 6 Months ago €79 which OK is not cheap but quick and efficient, I need now a new Termin for our Winter Wheels - Dave 😉
