Good to know about tyre changes

Tyre pressures and TPMS

  • after the tyre change we check and, if needed, adjust the tyre pressures
  • if the car has a TPMS system, resetting, programming or learning the sensors or any other separate procedure is not included in a normal tyre change
  • these procedures are done separately when needed

Tightening the wheel bolts

  • the bolts and nuts are tightened with a torque wrench to the torque the car requires
  • we recommend re-tightening when new wheel bolts, nuts or rims have been fitted to the car
  • after a normal seasonal change on rims and fasteners that have already been in use, separate re-tightening is not usually needed

Frequently asked questions

Do the wheel bolts need re-tightening after a tyre change?

We always tighten the bolts and nuts with a torque wrench to the torque specified by the car manufacturer. That is why, after a normal seasonal change – when the rims and fasteners have already been in use – separate re-tightening is not usually needed.

If new rims, bolts or nuts were fitted to the car, we recommend re-tightening after about 50–100 km of driving. You can have it done by us or do it yourself with a torque wrench.

Are tyre pressure adjustment and TPMS reset included in a tyre change?

We always check and adjust the tyre pressures during a tyre change – this is included in the price.

A TPMS reset is not included in a normal tyre change. If the reset is easy on the car, for example with a button or from a menu, the mechanic usually does it free of charge when possible. Programming or learning the sensors with a diagnostic tool is separate work.

Is balancing included in a tyre change?

No. A normal seasonal change does not include wheel balancing. If you feel vibration while driving, the steering wheel shakes or a balancing problem is suspected, balancing can be done as separate work. Wheel balancing →

What if the tyres need changing on the rims?

If the tyres need to be removed from the rims and others fitted in their place, that is a separate service. Tyre fitting on rims →

What if a wheel has rusted on?

A normal tyre change assumes the wheels, rims and fasteners are in normal condition. Extra work may be needed, for example, if a wheel has rusted firmly to the hub, the threads of the bolts or nuts are damaged, unusual locking nuts are used or something else prevents a normal seasonal change. Any extra work is agreed separately.

What can I leave in tyre storage?

Only the wheels. We do not store hubcaps, spare bolts, nuts, centring rings or other separate parts.
