Default Tire change

I always change over my own wheels and tires from summer to winter. However, the S7 seems to have a difficult jack point - you have to remove a plastic part for each jack point, and the use the specific Audi jack - and I have a universal racing jack which is much faster. Any suggestions for getting this done more efficiently?

Yes, use a hockey puck on the jack pad, making sure to align it so you're not putting any weight on the side skirt. It's pretty easy and fast this way.
