Portable Tire Jack

The original run flat tires were worn out, so I replaced them with Michelin non run flats. Very happy with the ride. Definitely feel an improvement over run flat tires.
I found a full size wheel and tire on eBay ($150) to use as a spare but want to find a portable jack.
I have been carrying 2 Ton hydraulic jack and rubber adapter, in the trunk, but it takes too much space.
Have anyone found a jack, besides modern spare one, that works with the GLB lift point? I see a lot of jacks on Amazon but non of them have rubber pad that fits GLB.
Thanks for the input

I am not sure if the OEM C-Class jack will work? https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...t-my-c450.html

Just curious what tires you chose from the Michelin portfolio. A/S or Summer, what product family? Thinking of doing the same for my EQB.

I installed Michelin CrossClimate 2, which are all weather tires vs. all season.

Great! No snow in my area so I am likely going with A/S for balance between grip, ride comfort, and handling. Thinking about the Michelin Latitude Sport 3s - XL rated tires are recommended by MB so my choices are a bit limited.
