whether to buy new tires or a set of mounted tires and wheels, typically called a tire and wheel package.
Benefits of Wheel Set Packages
- A mounted set saves the time, effort and expense required to replace the tires on your current wheels. Many drivers prefer to keep a summer set on the fancier, higher-end wheels that came with the vehicle while the winter set is installed on basic, less expensive steel wheels. A tire swap is then a simple, straightforward process and less expensive than a full tire and wheel change-over because you don't have balancing charges.
- Having two sets of tires and wheels dramatically extends the life of your tires as neither set is being used year 'round. A great option if you're planning to keep the vehicle for more than a couple of years. However, be sure to keep your tire's expiration date in mind. To Learn more about tire expiry dates READ HERE. The right decision will depend, of course, upon your specific situation.
- Some "do-it-yourselfers" like the fact that they can easily switch between winter and summer sets themselves, right at home. If you're not the handy type, don't have the tools or the time, we'd be happy to swap your tires for you right here in the Quick Lane, and free tire storage means that second set of tires and wheels isn't taking up valuable room in your garage.

Of course, owning two sets of tires and wheels isn't for everyone. For some drivers, they prefer to run all-season tires all year 'round, despite winter tire recommendations. If you do have two sets of tires,
always remember the Rule of Seven. Below 7 degrees Celsius, the rubber compound in all-season tires begins to harden making the tires less pliable, thus reducing handling, braking and performance. Above seven degrees Celsius, the compound in winter tires becomes softer, more pliable, leading to increased tire wear and resulting tread loss.Here at the Quick Lane, we'll provide you with the right advice so you can decide which tires and which approach works best for you and your situation.
