Travelling to remote places you often ponder that dreaded thought – what if I get 2 flat tyres? A lot of people carry a second spare when travelling, although a second spare tyre takes up valuable weight and space, and with the costs of tyres and rims going up all the time, it can often be an unnecessary waste. For $295, Tyre Pliers make a tyre repair kit and bead breaker.Don’t get me wrong, there is value in carrying a second spare. Even if it is just the tyre itself. Although to replace the tyre you’re going to need something to get the tyre off the rim. There are two main players in this market: Tyre Pliers, and the R&R Bead Breaker. A lot argue the R&R is a superior product due to its ease of use. Although we tend to disagree. Breaking the bead is about the easiest part of the process. The Tyre Pliers is a much quicker alternative and requires little effort. By far the hardest part is wrestling the tyre levers to remove the tyre from the rim. A task that does get easier with a little practice.The Tyre Pliers kit comes with what we call silly string, a simple sticky string base plug to fix nail holes etc, in tubeless tyres. There is also a large range of patches to fix tubed tyres, as well as some tubeless tyre patches. The kit includes spare valves and valve caps, as well as a valve tool.Overall, for $295 this kit is essential to anyone doing any form of remote 4wding and it’s well worth having one in your convoy. Murphy’s Law says if you carry one, you won’t need one. This kit is also another ideal product to hire for a trip or even borrow a mate’s. Tyre Pliers offer a full range of top up items for the repair kit and each item can be bought individually.
