Found out the hard way that my factory tire iron does NOT fit Cobra "R"s!! :mad:

Ran over a screw on the way into work tonight. Lucky, I made it off I-75 and to a gas station. :rolleyes:

Thank God for AAA. :bigthumb

I learned the hard way years ago back in 85. Had Cragers on my 72 and found out my tire iron was too small to fit the lugs. Bought a 4-way and kept it in the trunk all the time after that.

I have AAA also now. I've used their emergency service once and their trip planning service a couple of times.

Yeah there isn't a 4 lug on Earth that fit the rims on my Jeep...i have to carry a deep well socket and a breaker bar in it.

Not mention if you have "tuner" style lug nuts like the snow tires on my SRT4. They require special socket to get them off.
