WHY YOU NEED A TYRE REPAIR KIT
If you are an off-road enthusiast, you probably already have a tyre repair kit. If you are a beginner looking to explore dirt roads and two-tracks or heading out into the uncharted bush, then a tyre or wheel repair kit should be at the top of your shopping list. While other 4×4 accessories might be more ‘fun’ to shop for-from suspension modifications to rocker switches-it’s nevertheless important to think about how you are going to get yourself out of trouble if you encounter a flat tyre out in the wilderness.
The Importance of a Tyre Repair Kit
Why is it vital that you be able to repair a damaged tyre out in the bush? Here are a few reasons why having a repair kit in your trunk is essential:
The usual options aren’t there
When you get a flat tyre on the way to work, you can call a tow truck, a roadside assistance company or even a friend to help you. Even if all these options fail, there’s still hope that someone could drive by, see your situation, and lend a hand. Roadside assistance isn’t an option if there’s no road to speak of, which means that, when you have a tyre problem off road, you’re probably on your own. A puncture kit can save your bacon in this scenario.
It’s affordable
A tyre puncture repair kit is not a huge investment. The one we carry is just $40. That’s a small price to pay for the peace of mind you’ll get just from knowing you can get yourself out of a rough patch.
You’re riding on rough terrain
The likelihood of puncturing or damaging your tyre is markedly higher when you venture off the road and into the rugged, unpredictable terrain of the Australian bush. If you’re going to go off-roading, you need to be ready for the extra wear and tear that your tyres will collect along the way.
Products that complement Tyre Repair Kits
Being able to patch a punctured or damaged tyre can mean the difference between getting home and ending up stranded somewhere. A tyre or wheel repair kit is just one of the items you should have to ensure self-sufficiency out on the trails. Here are some of the products we carry that are equally vital for 4×4 recovery:
- Winches
- Winch rope and cable
- Recovery straps
- Winch accessories
- Winch rebuild parts
- Soft shackle
Having these components can make a huge difference in your ability to tow yourself out of heavy mud, deep sand, unexpectedly rocky terrain, or other challenges you might face during your off road adventures. For instance, with the right winch, winch rope and tree trunk saver straps, you might be able to use a strong tree to anchor your vehicle as you haul it out of a trouble spot. Without the right gear, you could do damage to your 4×4, get yourself more stuck or even destroy the tree.
