Road Hero Space Saver Spare Wheels
26th March 2025 | By Patrick Crow
Introducing Road Hero: The Ultimate Spare Wheel Kit for Total Peace of Mind
Having a spare wheel is more than just a convenience—it’s a necessity. With only 3% of new cars now coming with a spare wheel and tyre, drivers are increasingly left relying on tyre repair kits that can often do more harm than good. Enter Road Hero spare wheels at Carnoisseur, the complete space saver wheel and tyre kit designed to ensure you’re never stranded when a puncture strikes.
Why Road Hero?
Vehicle manufacturers are always trying to reduce costs and make weight savings to help them reach their fuel efficiency targets. The result of this is that many new vehicles come without a spare wheel and thousands of drivers have suffered, with the RAC reporting a 35% increase in puncture callouts over the last four years. The solution? A secure, tailor-made spare wheel and tyre that’s always ready when you need it. Road Hero isn’t just an emergency kit—it’s a comprehensive solution for you and your family, providing safety and reassurance.
Can of Tyre Slime Is Just Fine... Isn’t It?
Tyre puncture repair kits, tyre slime, tyre gunk... whatever you want to call it! In theory it's a really neat solution. It's tidy and convenient to just have a small aerosol can as your puncture repair solution. Tuck it away in the boot and there’s more space for the weekly shopping or trips to the tip... Correct, but have you considered if you’ll be quite so happy when a puncture occurs whilst on holiday, miles away from home or a garage and your family are all on board? What if the can has been in your boot for 5 years, is it still going to work effectively? How fast can you travel with a punctured tyre patched up with a spray can? What happens if the tyre side wall has been damaged? Will the repair kit always work? In our experience they don't, plus the tyre that you repaire always has to be replaced. Tyre puncture repair kits are therefore an option that are both unreliable and costly should you need to ever use it.
Here at Carnoisseur we, like most drivers, appreciate the significant benefits of having a replacement space saver wheel and tyre. Road Hero spare wheel kits are useable for the life of the car; it doesn’t need to be replaced and will never run out at the most critical moments. The fact that the space saver wheel is slim and comes in a storage bag with all the necessary tools is also fantastic and makes storage easy.
Everything You Need, All in One Kit
Road Hero is supplied as a complete package, carefully engineered to equip you with every essential tool for a quick and safe tyre change. The wheel and tyre is tailor-made for your specific vehicle, ensuring a perfect fit by considering key factors such as wheel size, tyre size, stud pattern, brake caliper clearance, and load rating. Alongside the space saver wheel and tyre, you are supplied with a selection of high quality accessories, including:
- Set of Wheel Bolts or Nuts
- 2 Tonne Jack with Universal Swivel Head
- Telescopic Wheel Brace with Interchangeable Sockets
- Wheel Bag: Keeps your punctured wheel clean and secure.

Designed with You in Mind
Road Hero is engineered to seamlessly work with your vehicle. Although the spare wheel’s size may differ from your standard wheels, the overall diameter (the rolling radius) remains within the safe and required range. The full technical specification of each Road Hero spare wheel and tyre is included on the relevant product pages.
