The genuine feeling of dread you experience as you realise your vehicle has a puncture is an all-too-familiar one for many motorists. Thankfully, Road Hero has stepped up with a simple, tailored spare wheel solution to make sure that your next puncture is an inconvenience, rather than a show-stopper.

Punctures are nothing new, of course, but what is new is that the vast majority of cars sold in the UK since 2012 DO NOT have a spare wheel fitted. On some cars, it’s a costly option, but on many, you’re left with a can of foam and a great deal of hope to get you home. Fine if you’re dealing with a simple nail in the middle of the tyre, but if it’s sidewall or rim damage that’s caused your deflation, it’s the recovery service for you, I’m afraid.

Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be this way. Each Road Hero kit is precisely tailored for your car, specific to the model, year and body style. Rather like the manufacturers themselves used to do before the regulations were changed, in fact. Inside the smart black bags are everything you’d ever need to swap your punctured wheel and be on your way in just a few minutes. We all know that punctures only occur when you’re already running late, right? Or when it’s raining. These are the golden rules of breakdowns.

It’s not just the spare wheel, jack and brace that you might rightly expect, though. Also included are a warning triangle, hi-vis vest, head-torch, rain poncho, kneeling mat and even heavy-duty gloves. So, if you find yourself dressed in your Sunday best in a deluge (the other rule of breakdowns) you’ve got every chance of staying clean while also being seen.

The spare wheel itself is of the alloy ‘space saver’ type. Not only light in weight and easy to handle, but also compact in size, taking the absolute minimum amount of boot space. The tyres fitted are good for fifty-miles at a top speed of 80 km/h. Enough to get you, unflustered, to your destination– or safely back to your tyre fitter or dealer for a more permanent solution whenever you’re ready

It really is as blissfully simple as that. Grab your Road Hero kit, keep it safe in your boot – and drive on, safe in the knowledge that, should the worst happen, you’re more than ready with everything you might ever need.

Perfect for family holidays, professional and taxi drivers, touring holidays – you name it! The Road Hero spare wheel solution might just be the best accessory you’ve ever bought for your car.

Prices start from £200 for the complete kit. Certainly cheaper than a missed flight, or making it an hour late to that ‘make or break’ meeting.
