Weather forecasters have warned that this winter could be one of the coldest for 70 years, blighted by a series of 'extreme cold weather events'. Such conditions are obviously now favourable for driving and the thought of suffering a puncture or blowout on a snowy road will have most drivers shuddering. That means it's a great time to invest in a RoadHero Space Saver Wheel & Tyre Kit from MotorNuts.

James Madden, weather forecaster for Exacta said: "October is now looking like it will turn out to be colder than average with more of a chance of something wintry setting in through the second half of the month. There is a strong chance of widespread frosts and the chance of snowfall which will set the scene for November.

The Chief meteorologist of the Weather Company, Dr Todd Crawford, blamed the upcoming big freeze on a 'battle zone' between cooler air in the north and warmer air in the south. He added that the conditions made the coming winter 'favourable to bring snow event after snow event as weather systems from the Atlantic clash with cold stagnated air over the UK'.

The RoadHero Space Saver Wheel & Tyre Kit contains everything you need to quickly replace a damaged wheel, allowing you to continue your journey until you can get somewhere to have it properly fixed. Available from MotorNuts for most makes and model of vehicle, the kit contains a space saver wheel, a jack and a wheel brace, all of which are stored snugly together in their own bag which fits neatly into the storage space under the vehicle's boot.
