Introducing Road Hero, the ultimate space saver wheel and tyre kit complete with everything you need for complete peace-of-mind when you're on the road.
More and more car manufacturers are supplying vehicles with no spare wheel; just 3% of new cars are now supplied with a spare wheel and tyre! This trend is largely driven by the desire to lighten cars for increased fuel efficiency and compliance with stricter regulations, as well as to reduce production costs. Some vehicles come with a tyre repair kit but they are unsuitable for many types of puncture and can be difficult to use. They also ruin the tyre that you are repairing, so it will always need to be replaced, even if it could have been repaired at a garage.
As a result of all of this, thousands of drivers are finding themselves stranded without a spare wheel when they really need one, with the RAC noting a 35% increase in callouts for punctures over the last four years!
Many people prefer the security of having a spare wheel to ensure they can always get home safely - that's where Road Hero comes in! Tailor made to fit your Ford Edge (from 2015 onwards), the Road Hero kit includes a space saver wheel and tyre, jack, wheel brace, storage bags and much, much more (see below for details); everything you need to change the wheel quickly and safely. Plus, all Road Hero kits come with a 2 year structural warranty.

Will This Definitely Fit My Car?
This spare wheel kit has been designed specifically to fit your car. Several factors are taken into consideration including wheel size, tyre size, stud pattern, brake caliper clearance and load rating.
Please note that the size of the spare wheel itself may be different to the size of the wheels that are on your vehicle. This is not important - the crucial measurement is the combined diameter of the wheel and tyre, as shown in the diagram. We call this the "rolling radius", and it has to be within 10% of the size of your original wheels and tyres.
This Road Hero Spare Wheel and Tyre has been developed to fit your vehicle. As long as you have selected the correct vehicle you can rest assured that it will fit. If you're not sure which kit is suitable for your vehicle, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to help.
Will This Road Hero Fit in the Wheel Well in My Boot?
Most vehicles have a wheel well in the boot for storing a spare wheel. More often than not the Road Hero can be stored in this wheel well. However, as many cars are now supplied with a repair kit instead of a spare wheel and tyre, the space available can be minimal.
We do not guarantee that your Road Hero Spare Wheel and Tyre Kit will fit in your car's spare wheel well, so if you are planning on storing it there please have a quick measure up first.
The dimensions for this Road Hero Spare Wheel and Tyre Kit are as follows:
- Diameter: 721mm
- Depth: 170mm
Please note that all Road Hero kits are supplied in a sturdy, zip-up cover so that they can be stored neatly and conveniently wherever you choose.
