StanceMagic Spare Tire?

[PianoAl]

I have the Modern Spare tire for Nick (see sig), and I'm considering the StanceMagic Spare for Tessie (because it's $120 cheaper). Anyone have that?

The main complaints on the reviews are that the jack doesn't get low enough when closed.

We have it. When testing the Jack does indeed have clearance issues, even with a full tire. Solution is to have something to drive the flat onto to increase the clearance. small piece of wood or something. Tire and kit look nice and everything fits in the bag.

I see that this StanceMagic spare comes in an 18 inch size only. But it in their webpage on Amazon they claim it's compatible with 19 inch wheels. I have 19 inch wheels on my M3LR. How can an 18" wheel possibly be compatible?

The diameter is all the same, 18” tire has more sidewall then the 19” but overall diameter the same.

The jack is apparently just another uninspired designed using a modified one inch "hockey puck" jacking pad that needn't had to add an inch to the lowered height of the jack.

A thin disk under the center post would have been in order for more clearance.
