Free storage but I wonder how much to swap over?
"In a bid to promote safety (and aftersales revenues), Farnell Land Rover dealerships are offering free storage of customers� summer tyres when they have winter tyres fitted by Farnell�s team. Jatinder Aujla, Operations Director for Farnell Land Rover, said: �Winter tyres can make all the difference to the way a vehicle handles in cold weather, but many people don�t fit them as they want to get the most mileage out of their normal tyres. By offering a free storage service, we are hoping to remove one of the barriers preventing drivers from having winter tyres fitted. �There are misconceptions that winter tyres use studs or chains, which is incorrect. We�ve already seen our first flurry of snow and, with meteorologists predicting a harsh winter, we�d like to see more people getting winter tyres fitted before the weather takes a turn for the worst. Jatinder says there is no room to be complacent on the subject of the annual tyre change: �Winter tyres aren�t just a marketing ploy. Studies show that a car fitted with winter tyres travelling at 30 miles-an-hour stops eight metres sooner on snow compared to the same vehicle using summer tyres. That is a significant distance and could make the difference between having a collision or not.�

Standard procedure here. Total cost to swap over a set of 4 winter or summer wheels, rebalance and machine wash those that will go on, put the other 4 that were taken off in secure insured storage until it is their turn again, is about equivalent of 50�.
