Team Tyre: Pump To The Rescue

It’s really easy to take action to avoid the disaster we talked about last time – just buy a pump!

A foot pump is a pain to use – it’s hard work and a poor quality one will let out air faster than you can get it in. That’s why we’d go for a compressor every time. If you want to learn more about these handy machines, here’s some of the best pumps for car tyres.

They’re really easy to use, even my mum can operate hers without phoning me up for help. As we said last time, wherever you’re going, the football or somewhere else that you need to be on time, these things have a habit of going wrong when you’re in a hurry. A flat tyre isn’t the end of the world, but it can really put a dent in your plans, so investing in a high quality tyre inflator is a great idea.

They’re often available for sale in the supermarkets, and certainly at your nearest Halfords. They’re not the cheapest places to buy though, which is why we really like the ones on Amazon or eBay. There’s a lot more to choose from, and you can even get them delivered for a fraction of the cost of having to drive to the retail park to pick one up. If you’re a member of Amazon Prime, it might even be free delivery!

So there’s how you can get your air compressor for less and even delivered for free to your door – is there any excuse not to now you know how? You don’t want to be regretting not taking action now in a few weeks time, stranded in a lay-by on a stretch of managed motorway – take it from me, that’s not a fun place to be! Spending less than fifty quid on a simple device like this can keep you a lot safer and get you back on the road in record time.
