A way to deal with a flat tire – a tire repair kit!
Car manufacturers are increasingly meeting the expectations of their customers. These expectations mainly focus on saving money and time. In response to these expectations, car manufacturers equip their cars with tire repair kits. Why? Mainly because repairing a flat tire is definitely less laborious and time-consuming solution than a visit to a vulcanization workshop or calling for roadside assistance. The popularity of tire repair kits is steadily increasing and no decrease in interest is expected, on the contrary. The answer to the question about the reasons for the above-mentioned interest can be found later in the article.
Tire Mobility Kit (TKM) – what it is?
In the beginning it is worth explaining what a tire repair kit actually is. The wheel repair kit is an alternative to the spare wheel. The average weight of the wheel weighs about 15 kilograms, and this weight increases fuel consumption. The repair kit is amazingly lightweight and takes up little space – some innovative kits are so small that they can be stored even in the glove box. Each wheel repair kit consists of two elements. The first is a bottle with sealing liquid, and the second is a compressor. Still, everything depends on the manufacturer. There are integrated and non-integrated sets. Integrated structures are matched to each other, and thus – their operation is more effective. In turn, non-integrated constructions are not matched, but they can be used in conjunction with products offered by different manufacturers
