Ring Makes Tyre Care Easy

Recent research into the maintenance of car tyres by British drivers suggests that 40% of cars have dangerously under inflated tyres. The research, from Kwik Fit, showed that British drivers are risking their safety by driving on poorly maintained tyres. Under inflated tyres also make driving less efficient, meaning that it is costing drivers at the fuel pump as well.
To help, Ring, has a complete range of tyre care devices that can help drivers to stay safe and save money.

Tyre Gauges

For an instant, accurate tyre pressure reading, Ring’s range of gauges are the ideal choice. The range includes the award-winning RTG4 Digital Tyre Keyring Gauge, which is a compact device with large a backlit digital screen. It has been praised for it’s easy to use design, LED light and easy to store size. Available nationwide, it is a good choice to keep in the car, or attached to your keys, just in case. SSP £8.99

To ensure safe tyres, drivers need to measure both the pressure and the tread depth. On passenger vehicles seating up to eight people, tyre tread must be at least 1.6mm: any less risks a fine. However, studies show that once tread depth goes under 3mm, stopping distance is affected, so it might be time to start considering new tyres. The RTG7 Programmable Digital Tyre Pressure & Tread Depth Gauge features a large backlit digital screen that shows accurate pressure readings, and also stores the recommended pressure levels for your tyres. It also has a tread depth gauge, which simply inserts into the tread to show how deep it is. Another award-winner, it is available nationwide.

Tyre Inflators

Using a portable tyre inflator that runs from the in-car 12V socket ensures the tyre pressure can be checked before journeys – taking readings and inflation needs to be done when the tyres are cold to get accurate readings. They also save the hassle of queuing in the petrol station and can inflate a 13” tyre from flat to 35PSI in two minutes. Plus, they are small enough to keep in the boot to use whenever needed.

Ring’s new RTC tyre inflator range are easy to use, fast and accurate. The RTC1000 Rapid Digital Tyre Inflator has a preset feature that allows drivers to set the desired pressure, press go, and it will automatically stop at the set pressure. It displays readings in PSI, kPa, bar or kg/cm2 and has a large backlit digital screen, so pressure can be easily read in any light conditions. The inflator also includes an integrated LED torch helps when inflating at night.



For a versatile inflator that can top up large tyres, car tyres, air beds and leisure items, the R(E)TC6000 Cordless 4 in 1 Digital TyreInflator and Air Pump is an ideal option. With an on board rechargeable lithium-ion battery, it can inflate a 13” tyre in 2 minutes and has settings for airbeds, along with a ten-piece adaptor set.

Tyre maintenance is a safety essential – but it doesn’t have to be time consuming. Ring’s range of tyre care essential will help drivers keep tyres topped up, with optimum performance.
