Tyre changing equipment to keep in your car

It’s necessary to the required tools and tyre changing equipment in your vehicle so you’re prepared in case you need to repair or replace a tyre by the side of the road.

As a minimum, you should have:

• A spare tyre
• A jack
• A wheel wrench with extension bar
• A locking wheel-nut adapter (if appropriate)
• A tyre repair kit
• Your vehicle’s handbook

If you’ve bought your car second hand, it’s essential that you check that the necessary tools provided by the manufacturer, including tyre changing equipment, are still in place. Don’t just assume they’re there. You’ll find a full list in your handbook.

If your car has a spare wheel, you should have been given a jack, a wheel wrench with extension bar and, if appropriate, a locking wheel-nut adapter.

Many modern cars don’t carry a spare wheel; if that’s the case with your vehicle, check that you have a complete post-puncture repair kit as well as spare CO2 canisters (or a pump) and sufficient glue. These are an alternative to the tyre changing equipment provided with spare tyres.

Your vehicle handbook should always stay in the car and it is one of the most useful pieces of equipment you’ll carry. Each make and model of car has its own peculiarities and your handbook will tell you specific details as well as what to do if you need a roadside repair.

Other useful items you should consider keeping in your car are:

• A wheel chock (to stop your car rolling when it’s jacked up)
• A tyre pressure gauge
• Scissors to remove cable ties from your hub caps
• A reflective jacket or Hi Vis vest
• An emergency triangle
• A torch
• A pair of gloves
• An old towel or cushion to kneel on
• A first-aid kit – in case you hurt yourself changing the wheel
• Details of your breakdown repair service & account info
