winter rims worth it?
I have currently one set of steel rims. I have put my winter tires on these for the winter. Do you think switching tires seasonally would be alright? Or should I take buy a second set. My main concern is stretching of the beading.

just get all season tires and you wont have to keep changing them

you should have a second set of tires mounted on steel rims. if you dont mind the hassle and expense of changing and rebalancing your tires every winter. I have two sets, my neighbors spend at least $100 just to change thier tires every winter.

Personally it's easier to have 2 sets of rims then to keep spending money on balancing/mounting twice a year. You would almost pay for another set of rims in 2 years.

FWIW, I got a set of steelies on ebay for $10 (picked them up).........in other words, if you are patient/have some time, you can usually find some steelies for VERY cheap.
As was mentioned before, you will save money by not having to mount and balance twice a year. ;) |
