In short
A tyre change means removing the tyres from the rim, fitting the new or seasonal ones, balancing the wheels and refitting them to the car. At our workshop at Via Enrico Cosenz 63/1, in Milan, just send us your size on WhatsApp: you get a quote with fitting, balancing and disposal included, and if you fit with us we store your off-season set for free.
What a tyre change includes
- Removing the wheels from the car and the tyres from the rims, steel or alloy.
- Fitting new tyres, run-flat too, and refitting the wheels to the car.
- Balancing every wheel with a wheel balancer, to prevent vibrations in the steering wheel.
- Disposal of the replaced tyres, included in the quote.
- Free storage of the off-season set, if you have the tyres fitted with us.
If we notice uneven wear or an alignment problem during the job, we tell you straight away: in that case it makes sense to add wheel alignment to the same appointment.
Tyres only, or wheels already mounted on the rim
If you have two complete sets of wheels (rims with tyres already mounted), the seasonal changeover is a swap of the wheels on the car, with a pressure check and, if needed, re-balancing. If you use the same rims all year, the tyres have to be demounted and refitted: it is the most complete job and always includes balancing.
When to change in Lombardy
On roads where the managing authority requires it by ordinance and signs, the obligation to use winter tyres (or carry snow chains) generally runs from 15 November to 15 April; winter tyres are usually fitted by mid-November and removed after mid-April. The busiest weeks are October and early November, then April: booking ahead avoids the queue.
The rules, dates and roads depend on the ordinance of the authority that manages each road: read our guide on winter tyres and snow chains in Lombardy, updated every season.
What to bring and how to book
- Your tyre size (on the sidewall, for example 205/55 R16 91V) or the vehicle registration document: if you can't find it, send us a photo.
- The key for the anti-theft wheel bolts, if your rims have one.
- The season and service you need: set them in our online quote and the message arrives ready to send on WhatsApp.
We are at Via Enrico Cosenz 63/1, a short walk from Bovisa station, Monday to Friday and on Saturday mornings. Up-to-date opening hours are on the Find us page.
