If you’ve ever opened the boot of a modern car expecting to find a spare wheel, only to find nothing but foam and frustration, you’re not alone. These days, many new cars are sold without a spare – a cost-saving trend that’s left thousands of drivers unprepared for punctures and blowouts.
At 14 Automotive, we think that’s a problem. Because when a tyre goes, you don’t want to be stuck waiting for roadside assistance, missing a meeting, or calling in favours from friends. You want to be back on the road – fast, safe, and in control. That’s where the Road Hero Spare Wheel Kit comes in.
What Is Road Hero?
It’s exactly what it sounds like. A real spare wheel and everything you need to change it – safely and easily. No roadside gamble, no inflated recovery bills, and no relying on foam sealants that often don’t work.
Each Road Hero kit is vehicle-specific and includes:
- A space-saving steel wheel and tyre
- Jack and wheel brace
- Warning triangle
- Gloves
- A compact storage bag to keep everything neat in your boot
Prices start from just £135 + VAT, depending on your wheel size. A small price to pay for real peace of mind.
“We see people turn up all the time with tyres beyond repair – and no backup in the boot. Road Hero gives drivers proper peace of mind, especially in places like Banbury where rural routes and potholes are a constant challenge.”
– Leon Smith, Managing Director, 14 Automotive
Live in a Rural Area? You Need a Proper Backup
If you live out in the villages or drive country lanes regularly, you’ll know: potholes are more than just an inconvenience. They can wreck a tyre in seconds.
And when they do, a can of foam isn’t going to cut it.
That’s why we always recommend keeping a Road Hero kit in your car. It gives you confidence to keep driving, even when you’re far from help. And if you’re not sure whether your tyre can be saved or needs replacing, we also offer:
We’ll always give honest advice on the safest and most cost-effective option.
The Perfect Gift for New Drivers
Got a son, daughter, or grandchild who’s just passed their test? There’s no better gift than a tool that builds confidence and promotes safety.
A Road Hero kit doesn’t just sit in the boot – it empowers new drivers to handle unexpected situations calmly and independently. Even better, our Workshop Manager Shane Fleming is happy to provide a free hands-on demo to teach them how to change a tyre step-by-step.
On the Road for Work? Don’t Let a Puncture Cost You
