A few things to have ready.
- A compatible second set of complete wheel-and-tyre assemblies.
- Correct fixings, locking wheel nut key and any sensor information.
- Accessible wheels and a suitable, authorised working area.
Complete wheels, ready to fit
The seasonal option is for tyres already mounted on a compatible second set of wheels. It does not cover removing loose tyres from rims, supplying new tyres, wheel refurbishment or wheel storage. If your seasonal tyres are loose, the replacement fitting service is the better place to start a discussion about what equipment and work would be needed.
Before requesting a swap, confirm the alternate set belongs to this vehicle and check its tyre size, load index and speed rating against the vehicle requirements. Front and rear assemblies may differ. Tell the operator about directional tyres, different wheel bolts or nuts, and tyre-pressure monitoring equipment so compatibility can be checked before any appointment is agreed.
Prepare for a straightforward visit
Have both sets accessible at the vehicle’s location, together with the locking wheel nut key and any required wheel fixings. The visit begins with inspecting the supplied assemblies and checking their suitability. The fitter carries out the agreed swap using the relevant vehicle instructions, and discusses concerns about tyre condition or compatibility before continuing.
This booking category does not automatically include balancing, sensor programming or storage. Confirm any of those needs when discussing the final scope. Choosing a suitable seasonal tyre also depends on your vehicle and driving conditions; the calendar alone does not confirm that a particular set is appropriate.
Home and workplace access
Provide a firm, level parking space with room to work around the car and park the service van. Arrange permission for workplace or shared parking and include access restrictions in your request. The online request area is EH, G, FK, KY and ML, plus PA1–PA19. Each address and appointment requires Tyre Rescue confirmation. No payment is taken on this website. Submitting a request does not reserve an appointment or guarantee attendance.
