So how often do you check your tyre pressure? Haven?t done it for a while? Don?t worry you?re not alone, almost a third of motorists have admitted to rarely checking their car tyre pressure.

I admit it, checking your tyres on a regular basis is a task many of you may not find the most exciting. But did you know having your tyre slightly under inflated by just 15psi (1 bar) could seriously affect your safety. With under- inflated tyres, your vehicle's steering is less precise, braking becomes more difficult and stopping distances increase by 5m. But worst of all under- inflated tyres increase your rolling resistance leading to around 6% greater fuel consumption.

There is a very simple way you can prevent fuel wastage and improve the safety of your car and that is with checking your tyres regularly.

The excellent Ring automatic digital air compressor (with inflator and deflator) is the pick of the bunch. Not only does it have the ability for you to pre-set your tyre pressures but it will inflate a fully flat tyre in less than 3 minutes and inflate a single air bed in just 30 seconds!

The clever people at Ring know how unpredictable tyres can be and know they could need inflating at any time. So for those of you who end up stuck on the side of the road or caught in the dark they have attached a very helpful LED light so you can see what you?re doing. Also attached is a bright red SOS light to keep you safe and alert any passers-by.

The kit is easy to use - Just plug it into your cigarette lighter and with the 3mtr cable you are able to reach all the tyres. The compressor is also stored in a handy storage case which fits perfectly into your boot (H 280 x W 270 x D 125). Remember the Ring air compressor is a helpful and reliable piece of kit checking your tyres regularly can help keep you safe on the road.

This air compressor is also very useful for those of you who travel by car on holiday or lounge near a pool because the kit is complete with a host of adaptors for inflating sport balls, inflatable beds and small inflatables.
