Winter draws on...

[Bruce Fielding]

...and winter tyres as well...

This will be the first time that I change tyres in Switzerland.

What's the form?

What kind of info are you after ?

[G5BRA]

It's set up well over here - as usual, pretty much any tyre place will change the tyres over for you, some will even store the summer tyres for you.
In most of them you can just turn up and they'll do it for you there and then - well organised and they can do all four in about 20mins.
If you want I can dig out some contact numbers for you.

Even the main car dealers will do this. Zug BMW sent me a letter saying they now have on-line booking for Winter/Summer tyre changes which is nice!

Yep, total standard procedure here.

The only other thing worth mentioning is that they don't as standard re-balance your wheels when you swap. I find that sometimes the balance can change particular with the larger summer rims when they have been stored over the winter, so I always ask the dealer to balance and align at the same time.

Good and safe practice

And the German for that is?

I've discovered that the leasing company has a deal with Adam, so I'm getting the tyres from them and they'll store the Summer ones over the winter for me. Apparently getting fat run flat tyres fitted to the new BMW 5 series isn't as easy as normal. Story of my life...
