Particularly low profile, sport tires like one would often find on a set of 17" BBS rims. Partially supporting your 2 ton car on a rubber bag that will suddenly let go at an unpredictable moment really sounds like a recipe for getting hurt.

Yes I was going to do the index card trick, that is if I end up doing it at all. I am still somewhat undecided, and haven't found paint yet.
