Road Hero Space Saver Spare Wheel Kits
Introducing Road Hero, a 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 manufacturers are supplying vehicles with no spare wheel; just 3% of new cars are now supplied with a spare wheel and tyre! The reason for this is because it allows them to reduce the weight of the vehicle, helping them to reduce emissions and meet tougher regulations for new cars. It's also an easy way for them to cut costs.
Repair kits are sometimes supplied, but these are not suitable for many types of puncture. Also they are difficult to use, and ruin the tyre that you are trying to repair so it will always have to be replaced.
The result is that more and more driver's are being stranded after realising they have no spare wheel, with the RAC reporting that call outs for punctures have increased by 35% in the last four years.
Many driver's would prefer a spare wheel and tyre to get them home safely - that's where Road Hero comes in! Tailor made to fit your specific car, and supplied in a bag with all the tools and accessories you need to change the wheel quickly and safely. Buy your Road Hero kit securely online today from the UK space saver wheel specialists.
Exclusive Special Offer! Heyner Germany Premium Tyre Pressure Gauge worth £15 now included free with every Road Hero order.
