Michelin Pumps Blow Away Competition in Auto Express Test

Michelin foot-pumps have taken an impressive one-two clean sweep in comparison tests run by Britain’s biggest selling motoring weekly, Auto Express. The Michelin twin-barrel pump was awarded the “Best Buy” 5-star rating for performance and accuracy whilst the Michelin single-barrel foot pump took the runner-up “Recommended” award and a 4-star rating.

The two foot-pumps from the Michelin motoring accessories range were compared with eight competitors’ products in detailed tests carried out by Auto Express’ technical experts. The accuracy of the pressure gauges and their pumping power were at the heart of the tests, which also awarded points for stability in use, build quality, hose length and ease of tyre-valve connection.

Auto Express pointed out that regular use of an accurate foot pump is the most cost-effective way of keeping your tyres correctly inflated which will save money on fuel consumption and tyre wear, and will optimise the safety and road holding of your car.

Both foot pumps are available from Halfords and details of other stockists can be found by calling 0800 731 4973.
