4. Puncture protection

Puncture Protection

There’s never a good time to get a puncture, but winter is one of the worst.

Give yourself a fighting chance of avoiding having to change the wheel with an aerosol repair kit such as CarPlan’s Flat Mate (£5.99) or Holts Tyreweld (£7.99).

To increase the odds in your favour even further, the ContiComfortKit (£59.99) adds a sealant and inflates the tyres with a 12-Volt compressor.
