question bout changing tires for winter...
i never had winter tires before so im a little bit confused about something; am i suspose to get my tires (and rims) changed at a shop so that they align and install them or can i do it myself? do i need that alignment thing they do? if so, does that mean i have to bring my car back to the shop to get my summer tires back on in the spring?
thanks. |
You can do it by yourself, a normal tire change. No alignment is needed because of tires.

If you are just getting tires, then unless you have the equipment, you will need a tire shop to mount and balance the wheels.
If you are getting a wheel for each tire, then you just need to have the tires mounted onto a wheel and balanced once. Then swap 'em out like u swap out a spare. No need for alignment. Also, I read that it is not recommended that you use your snow tires when the ground is warmer than 5 degrees celsius (about 41 fahrenheit), otherwise you will lose rubber really fast. So if it's not cold enuf for snow to be on the ground, then change up them tires. |
alright, thanks guys :)
