One of every driver's biggest nightmares is getting a flat tyre and becoming stranded. Perhaps it is not every driver's worst nightmare because they may have a plan in place for when this happens. But, are you prepared for when this might happen?
This is why investing in a Road Hero Wheel Kit could save you from becoming stranded.
Ensure you have a plan in case this happens so you can get home safely.
What exactly are the Road Hero Space Saver Wheel Kits?
Since a change in legislation in 2012 removed the requirement for manufacturers to provide a spare wheel, tyre-related breakdowns have increased. The AA and RAC alone attended nearly 180,000 breakdowns in 2016 due to a flat tyre and a lack of a spare wheel, and tyre failure is the cause of 4 out of 5 breakdowns.
Road Hero is a solution for those who want to be worry-free about tyre problems. If your vehicle was constructed in 2012 or later, it is likely that it does not have a spare wheel. Road Hero is a cheap space-saving spare for 108 various wheel types that may fit easily in the boot of a car.
If you acquire a flat tyre, shifting to your Road Hero spare wheel is simple and uncomplicated, and it will bring you home safely.
What does a Road Hero Kit include?
The Road Hero Kit is designed to handle all puncture circumstances, containing everything you'll need to safely go home - or to a repair shop. The Road Hero Kit contains a spare space-saving wheel with a pre-installed tyre. The wheel and fittings come in a protective storage bag, along with a breakdown kit that includes all of the tools you'll need to change your wheel safely. Please keep in mind that wheel well fitting cannot be guaranteed. The following items are included in the breakdown kit:
- 2 Ton Scissor Jack
- Adjustable Wheel Brace with 17hex, 19hex, 21hex and 23hex sockets
- Head Torch
- Gloves
- Warning Triangle
- Hi-Visibility Vest and Rain Poncho
- Kneeling Mat
- Wraparound Wheel Bag for the wheel coming off the vehicle
