Renowned auto accessory giant, Ring Automotive, exploded into the tyre care market 20 years ago and has slowly been leading the space to create one of the best tyre care ranges in the automotive industry.
Ring’s tyre care range consists of more than 25 products, including tyre inflators, footpumps, pressure gauges and sealant with many multi award winners among them.
One such product that has won multiple awards – including Expert Reviews and IAAF’s Highly Commended Product of the Year – is Ring’s cordless digital tyre inflator (RTC4000), a high quality, compact, yet powerful cordless tyre inflator that can be used for cars and motorcycles.
Unlike the many cordless tyre inflators on the market that can only top up one or two tyres at a time till the battery goes flat, the RTC4000 can easily inflate four tyres, each by more than 10 psi and has a battery capacity that will even inflate a tyre from flat. It is also easily chargeable via a USB Type C or 12V DC cable and inflates tyres quickly.
Another award winner is Ring’s RTG4 Digital Keyring Tyre Pressure Gauge, which won Auto Express’s tyre gauge test in 2024, with the product becoming Auto Express’s ‘Best Buy’ 2024 and being awarded five out of five stars.
Ring’s RTG4 is a digital tyre gauge with keyring attachment, making it lightweight and convenient to carry around, and therefore easy for users to check their tyre pressures regularly. This award winning gauge gives accurate readings in PSI, kPA, BAR and kg/cm2 and even comes with an integrated LED light to help drivers find the tyre valve in the dark.
This is not the first time a Ring tyre care product has won an award from Auto Express, in fact Ring has won Best Buy in the Tyre Inflator category for the last 16 years! This year the product that won Best Buy was the RTC1000, Ring’s Premium Rapid Digital Tyre Inflator. It first won back in 2019 and has continued to prove its value year after year.
This product makes tyre maintenance fast and easy as it’s powered directly from the in-car 12V socket. It inflates a 13in tyre in just two minutes and comes with three adaptors, an LED light, storage case, spare valve caps and latex gloves.
A more recently launched product in Ring’s tyre care portfolio is the flat tyre repair kit, RTK6, that includes a Particle Gel Sealant, which is a liquid sealant with through valve technology, as well as Ring’s most popular ‘tried and tested’ inflator, the RAC610, so drivers can fix their tyre quickly and easily.
The sealant included in the RTK6 is a direct replacement for original equipment tyre sealant and will seal punctures up to 6mm in size and can be easily washed out with water, allowing the tyre to be repaired if necessary. The RTK6 sealant is non-toxic and non-corrosive.
Ring has ensured the sealant is easy to use, with the sealant working through the valve, meaning there is no complicated process of removing the valve core and doesn’t need any tools to use. This procedure can be done within 10 minutes, meaning the driver can get to a garage quickly without needing to call out any roadside assistance.
Yet it’s not just products Ring focuses on when it comes to tyre care, it’s also partnerships and being vocal in the importance of tyre safety. Ring has been a supporter of TyreSafe, the UK’s leading authority on tyre safety, for years and has assisted at its events across the UK for the last two years to promote the importance of having the correct tyre inflation, using its award winning products.
Marketing Director, Henry Bisson, commented: “Ring has certainly become the company to go to for tyre care needs! We launched the tyre care range nearly 20 years ago. While our heritage and specialism is lighting we have always offered a wide range of car accessories. Today, through innovation and design we are now leaders in tyre care.
“Ring is now fifty years old and has expanded so much in that time. Becoming leaders in tyre care, as well as car lighting, is testament to that evolution.”
