Running two sets of tyres makes total sense in Britain - winter rubber for winter, summers for summer. The catch is where to keep the set you are not using. Our secure tyre storage keeps seasonal sets clean, dry and correctly stacked in a dedicated area of our Walsall depot, ready for the swap when the seasons change.
Bring both sets in at once if you like - we will store the spare, fit the set you need now, and have you back on the road quickly. When the seasons turn, we swap them over for you in minutes.
Based in central Walsall, Marlows Tyre and Valeting looks after drivers across the Black Country. Choose your area to see local availability, or visit us at the depot - most jobs are finished within the hour.
Rubber hardens as it ages, and light, heat and ozone accelerate the process. Storing a seasonal set in a dry, temperature-stable rack instead of a sunny garage takes years off that clock - and keeps the tread off a concrete floor, where it can harden or distort.
We can store the set you are not using, fit the set you need now, and handle the swap again when the seasons turn - so a winter/summer programme becomes one short visit twice a year instead of a garage-tetris weekend.
Storage is charged per wheel set for the off-season - call for current pricing. A year-round plan usually works out cheapest for regular swappers.
Both. Tyres on wheels keep their pressures; bare tyres are stored upright on stands and rotated periodically to avoid flat spots.
