Question 1

Do I need two sets of wheels for seasonal tires?

Accepted Answer

No. If you have one set of wheels, choose Tire Changeover and we’ll mount/balance the seasonal tires on your wheels. If you already have a second wheel set with tires installed, Wheel Changeover is faster and typically more convenient.

Question 2

Will you balance my tires?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tire Changeover includes mounting and spin balancing. Wheel Changeover includes a balance check to help resolve vibration concerns if needed.

Question 3

Will my TPMS need to be relearned?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the vehicle. Some models auto‑relearn sensor positions while others require a manual or OBD‑tool relearn after wheels/tires are moved; procedures vary by make and model.

Question 4

Is a torque check needed after service?

Accepted Answer

A post‑service lug‑nut re‑torque after a short driving period is a commonly recommended safety step by tire manufacturers and dealers (often ~50–100 miles / ~80 km). We can advise you at the appointment based on your vehicle and wheels.

Question 5

Is an alignment included?

Accepted Answer

Alignment is not part of this service. Consider an alignment check if you notice pull, off‑center steering, or uneven wear; we can help schedule that separately.

Question 6

Do you rotate tires during a changeover?

Accepted Answer

Rotation isn’t included by default. If you maintain a single set year‑round, rotation is typically scheduled by mileage intervals; at changeover time, rotation is only applicable if positioning can be changed safely (e.g., non‑directional tires, same sizes).

Question 7

Can you store my off‑season set?

Accepted Answer

No. Storage (“tire hotel”) is not included.

Question 8

Anything I should do before the appointment?

Accepted Answer

Make sure the seasonal set is at the service address, accessible, and clean enough to handle; have your wheel‑lock key ready (if equipped). If you track set locations (e.g., “LF/RR”), feel free to mark each tire/wheel so we can reinstall as requested.
