Prepare for your winter or spring changeover
- Confirm whether both tire sets are mounted on separate wheels.
- Provide vehicle details and advise of different wheel sizes or locking wheel nuts.
- Discuss the condition of the set being installed and any recent pressure or vibration concerns.
- Ask whether pressure checks, TPMS procedures and any balancing are part of the quoted service.
What changes the service you need
- A complete second set of mounted wheels calls for an on-rim changeover.
- Loose tires and one set of wheels call for mounting and balancing.
- A damaged or worn seasonal set may need assessment before installation.
What affects your quote?
Ask for an itemized quote based on your vehicle and the work needed.
- On-rim changeover versus off-rim mounting and balancing.
- Vehicle, wheel size and wheel hardware requirements.
- TPMS requirements and any separate balancing or repair work.
Our on-rim versus off-rim changeover guide explains the two setups. If your seasonal tires share one wheel set, request an off-rim tire change and balancing quote so the fitting work is clear.

Common questions
What is an on-rim seasonal tire change?
Your winter and summer or all-season tires each have their own wheels. The complete assemblies are exchanged on the vehicle; the tires do not need to be removed from those wheels for the changeover.
What if my seasonal tires are not on rims?
They need to be mounted on your wheels rather than exchanged as complete assemblies. Ask for an off-rim mounting and balancing quote, or visit our tire mounting page.
Do seasonal changes include balancing?
Confirm the quote's scope. A mounted set may need balancing if it has vibration or another relevant concern, but balancing should not be assumed to be included in every on-rim changeover.
Can you store my other tire set?
Tire storage is not confirmed on this page. Ask the shop about current arrangements before leaving a set behind.
How long does a seasonal tire change take?
The time depends on whether both sets are already on wheels, the vehicle and any tire, hardware or TPMS concerns. Call with those details to ask about the expected time and current scheduling. A quote request does not reserve an appointment.
