Seasonal Tyre Changeover — Your Questions Answered

Most drivers in Ireland switch to winter tyres between October and November, when temperatures start dropping consistently below 7°C. This is when winter tyres deliver better grip and shorter braking distances on wet and cold roads. We'd recommend getting your changeover booked a few weeks before the cold weather really sets in to avoid the rush.

We remove your current tyres, inspect your wheels for damage or wear, fit your seasonal tyres, balance them properly to ensure smooth driving, and run a safety check. Your old tyres are either stored (if you'd like to keep them) or disposed of responsibly. The whole job typically takes around 45 minutes to an hour per vehicle, depending on what we find during the inspection.

Yes, we include a wheel alignment check as part of our service. If we spot any issues—like uneven tyre wear or steering that pulls to one side—we'll let you know and discuss whether adjustment is needed. Proper alignment saves you money on tyres and fuel in the long run, so it's worth sorting out early if there's a problem.

During the changeover, we'll check your tyres for tread depth, cracks, bulges or punctures. If they're not safe to reuse, we'll let you know straight away and discuss your options. We can arrange new tyres if needed, or help you understand whether repair or replacement makes sense for your situation.
