Two sets of tires - disadvantages

Many car owners are faced with a choice - what is more beneficial to have two sets of wheels assembled or to seasonally change tires on disks. Of course, each of the options has both advantages and disadvantages.

First of all, it is necessary to determine the annual mileage of the car and understand how much you will spend on tire fitting, given that the tires will serve you for a maximum of 2-3 seasons or in full 8-10 seasons. With large mileages, undoubtedly, two sets of wheels assembled do not make sense either from a practical or economic point of view, because in a couple of seasons, you will not recoup the tire fitting costs.

But it's also worth remembering that seasonal tire fitting is not just mounting/dismounting tires. It's also a qualified assessment of the suitability of tires for operation, inspection for damage, and balancing of assembled wheels. Tires wear out, disks deform, and balancing loses its relevance. In addition, it's worth remembering that valves fail over time. The rubber covering the brass core does not have such components as a tire and simply dries out and cracks after 2-3 seasons.

The above factors do not favor two sets of wheels, but there is another extremely important factor that few people think about. Seasonal tire fitting is at least a visit to a tire center and the work of qualified personnel. While a second set of assembled wheels is always the temptation to install the wheels yourself, because everything is available, including a jack and a key. However, errors are not uncommon, which are directly related to safety, such as poor tightening of the fasteners.

Be careful and vigilant. It is necessary to regularly deal with such an important component of your safety on the road as tires. Moreover, the prices for tire fitting at Mosavtoshina are always extremely beneficial.
