As the title says: I'm looking for any good practice on winter tyres, more specifically the purchasing of it.
Some background first. I haven't had any car with bigger tyres then 17" and none of them had TPMS. I had winter tyres though. In the past I tried several variations: getting an additional set rims with winter tyres, just winter tyres and getting them swapped on the rims, done by the dealer, done at the local tyre shop. All of the options worked reasonably OK. As with 20" which I ordered, and the stiff pricing deals from JLR dealers on winter tyre sets, I am looking for alternatives.
I have ordered 20" which comes with summer tyres. I imagine getting other rims makes the TPMS an issue if not done by JLR ? Wouldn't winter tyres swapped on the same rims done at the local tyre shop not be the simplest and probably the cheapest option?
What are the con's and pro's? Any guidance and experience (in general on 20+" wheels) in this matter is appreciated!
