What is the difference between a wheel change and a tyre change?

A wheel change swaps the complete wheels, rim plus tyre. It is faster and cheaper, but you need a second set of rims. A tyre change keeps your rims: the old tyre is removed from the rim, the new one mounted, and the wheel rebalanced. With only one set of rims, you need a tyre change twice a year.

Which of the two should I book?

Do you have a second set of rims with the tyres already mounted? Then you need a wheel change. If you have only one set of rims, or you are buying new tyres, you need a tyre change. When in doubt, choose the tyre change: the garage sees straight away what is actually needed and tells you.

How long does a tyre or wheel change take?

Expect 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the vehicle and the type of job. It is usually worth waiting in reception rather than dropping the car off and coming back later.

When should I switch to winter tyres?

In Switzerland the rule of thumb runs from October to Easter. Below roughly 7 degrees, the winter compound grips better, even on dry roads. There is no legal requirement, but with summer tyres in winter conditions you carry the consequences if something happens or if you obstruct traffic.

Do the tyres arrive at the garage?

Yes. Once the order is confirmed, the tyre is shipped directly to the garage you chose.

Do you store tyres off-season?

Yes, with the All-Inclusive package or the Tyre Storage service. Certified warehouses under controlled conditions.

What does fitting include?

CHF 28 per wheel: removal, fitting, balancing, pressure check, TPMS reset. Disposal optional (+ CHF 8 per tyre).
