Okay so I haven't had a tire actually die on me in a while in use and I have to say that having never changed the Cayenne's tire myself before I didn't realize how hard it would be. I tried to follow the instructions in the manual, and I'm not saying they are bad, but with the weight of the wheel + tire as well as the pain of getting it out of the carrier, it took me forever and even then I went ahead and called my insurance and waited the 2 hours for someone to get there. I haven't yet got the 18s changed back to the 19s this summer, so I figure that if I do that it will give me plenty of practice so in the event I have to do this again it won't be so painful.

Can I get all of the tips, tricks and pointers everyone here has used to make this successful? Also, I don't have a jack other than the one that came with the car, should I invest in a better one? The jack I have for my other car is very low profile so it probably won't even raise the Cayenne.

Also, lining things up with just one of those guide pins was impossible. Is 1 the minimum and most people actually have two to make it easier to line things up?

Thanks for any suggestions.
