How do you guys go about with the tire changing business?

1. Do you have to have two different set of wheels or can you just take the tires off one and put the other set on?
2. If you do the above, how do you get your previous tires home (or wheels, if you have two different set ups) in your cars? Or do you store them somewhere special?

Its best to have two sets of wheels.

For winter, smaller, narrower wheels are ideal. And dedicated winter tires is better. (tires are also cheaper when its smaller).


I have a summer setup up i'm selling too.

I store my wheels in my parents basement and swap it out myself with a jack on each wheel. Its not that hard.
