Jack and handle and wrench in UX?

[KW Lexus]

Hello UX owners in U.K.,

Jointed as owner of a UX250h with a 2020 2WD model with run flat tires . I only have a towing eyelet under the boot. Read the manual and there are jack handle, jack and nut wrench under the boot. Not sure if they are standard accessories that I missed in my UX. Thanks for advice.

I don't think you get one. None included with mine. Runflat tyres

Whatever go buy a space saver for emergency use 

runflats are useless if you bust your tyre in a pothole on a Bank Holiday Sunday and zero outlets to buy a new tyre ….. at least the AA /RAC etc can change your wheel ….. they even have the jack onboard 

Otherwise the pick-up truck eventually arrives and all that gross inconvenient pullava …. go get yourself a space saver whatever …… tiny money well spent 🤫

Malcolm, not sure you appreciate how little boot space the UX has. If you are carrying any luggage you cannot fit in a space saver, and it you ever have to change a wheel then you have an even bigger problem of somehow securing a full size wheel in the boot.

Absolutely right   I have no idea about the boot space 

nor in most cars of course 

But heaven forfend should one have a tyre blowout on a day or night there’s no place open to buy a new tyre !    ….. not even for the RAC 
 

Which happened  to my daughter in their Arbath 

Just a little word of seemingly useless observational thought from me …… Cest le vie

Hi 

I've had my UX250h for a few weeks now. I bought a Lexus space saver wheel (125/70/17) and it fits perfectly underneath the boot floor. I also bought a scissor jack and wrench online (eBay) which fit into the well of the space saver.

Altogether cost me £50 but gives me peace of mind should I get a puncture in a remote location where the tyre foam might not work. 

Regards

£50 included the Lexus space saver wheel? 

[HPS13]

Hi

Yes, the space saver was described as 'used' but it appears as brand new. Certainly the tyre looks as new (Bridgestone). - £40. 

The scissor jack and wrench (Toyota) were £10.

Hi Hugh,

Where can you found the Lexus space saver so cheap? In facebook market place or eBay.  I am interested to buy one so I don't have to use run flat tires when they are due to replace soon. 

[Malc1]

are spacesavers just generic or do they have to be specific for the car Marque these days ?

if they can be for any car and any hub set-up ( within tyre size parameters ? )  then that makes finding one much easier ?

anyone know the answers here ......  that would help in searching for one !

They need to be specific to the bolt PCD/pattern. The wheel itself also needs to be large enough to clear the brake callipers so you need to be careful in selecting the correct wheel - and make sure it fits (on the front which has larger brakes) before you actually need it.
