No-slip Tire Ramp

I have used a ramp to remove flat tires for many years on two and three axle Airstreams. To keep it from sliding on smooth pavement, I put a rubber mat under it. I have also reduced the need for it...

A Better Way

I suggest that you don't need to worry about where to place the jack.
I use a ramp. Place it under the good wheel and tire. Drive up on it.
Remove or replace the bad wheel and tire. This is safer...
