Say goodbye to your spare wheel with the ContiComfortKit car gadget
(01/07/2009)

The ContiComfortKit, created by Continental Tyres, is a quick and easy puncture repair kit which seals and pumps air into a flat tyre to get him back on the road in 7 minutes. No stress and more room in the boot for other car gadgets.

The ContiComfortKit is a handy breakdown kit for car drivers that quickly and reliably restores mobility in the case of a tyre puncture. Gone are the days of drivers stuggling to change a wheel at the side of busy and dangerous roads. Quick and simple to use, the ContiComfortKit gets you back on the road in minutes, enabling you to continue your journey and drive to the next garage*.

The Kit is simply connected at one end to the cigarette lighter outlet and at the other end to the valve of the flat tyre. It works by filling the tyre with a liquid sealant, which seals the puncture. The in-built compressor then enables you re-inflate the tyre to the normal pressure level.

An illuminated pressure guage, backlit operating instructions and in-built torch mean that even using the kit at night should not pose a problem. What's more, the ContiComfortKit can also be used as a normal compressor to pump up car and bike tyres, beach balls or even air mattresses.

At around just two kilograms, the kit is particularly light and saves space and weight in the boot by eliminating the need for a spare wheel. A 12V compressor and liquid sealant combined in a compact unit, the ContiComfortKit can save up to 18kg weight compared with a spare wheel and tyre.

ContiComfortKit, £59.99, is available from ContiComfortKit.
