Peugeot 3008 - Winter and summer tyres on same wheels - rjp

Does it make any difference to tyre wear/safety and warranty to change from summer to winter tyres and back each year on the original wheels, using a reputable local garage?

No problem at all, so long as your tyre fitter is reasonably careful, and you store the tyres not in use somewhere preferably cool and dark, make sure the fitter lubricates the tyre beads before removal as well as fitting, some fitters assume tyres being removed are scrap and remove them dry, this rips the bead to shreds.

Many people however prefer to use a second set, either steel wheels or a used set of cheap alloys for the winter tyres for two reasons, obvious convenience, and saving the best wheels from the ravages of salt corrosion, the tyres on wheels take up no more space than just tyres..
