I've stripped out the stock tire-iron. I've had some fold up.
Most of the stock irons put a sideways torque on the lug and the
iron slips off, rounding both.

Having a 3' hunk of blackpipe in the car
is still a better solution, though.

Having a good (cross) tire iron; priceless.

A good cross type tire iron won't generate enough torque. Nowadays I always keep
a 20-24" breaker bar and a 1/2" socket in the car.
