Tyres & Wheels Accessories

Portable 12 V and cordless tyre inflators, digital pressure and tread-depth gauges, puncture repair kits and sealants, wheel cleaners and brushes, locking wheel nuts, hub caps, valve caps and wheel-trim fixings. The UK legal minimum tread is 1.6 mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre; a gauge in the glovebox costs less than a coffee and saves the argument at the test centre.

What to look for: an inflator with an auto-stop at a set pressure and a hose long enough to reach a rear wheel from the 12 V socket; a gauge reading in PSI and bar (UK handbooks use both); wheel cleaners that say “acid-free” if you have diamond-cut or polished alloys; and locking nuts with a coded key you can replace if lost.
