Why carry the R&R Beadbreaker

We at Safari 4x4 have been travelling Australia for over ten years and have experienced our fair share of tyre problems so we know how much of a pain it can be.

Whilst at shows and fields days demonstrating tyre repair equipment, so many have told us the circumstances of how, where and when their tyre problems caused them stress and inconvenience.

Taking in this feedback and our own experiences we have developed comprehensive tyre repair kits to meet the needs of bush travellers all over Australia. We are confident our kits contain a quality range of products to cover all repairable tyre injuries.

Carrying two spare tyres mounted on rims and ready to go means you have two chances. This doesn’t sound so good when you’re out the back of Bourke. It’s not uncommon to have two flats at the same time, so fit your spares, then what?

Panic or get out the map and satellite phone and find which direction you are more likely to get help from and hope you get there without further problems.

However, having the ability to repair a tyre on the roadside gives you many more chances of continuing on with your travels.

Let’s say we only get two fixes out of each tyre with our standard five tyres, that’s ten flats before we have a problem.

Add just an extra tyre without arim and you have another couple of chances and you’re not carrying the extra weight (or expense) of a second rim/wheel carrier etc.

Hint: A great spot for your second casing is strapped to your existing spare on the back door or carrier.
