On-Rim or Off-Rim?

Check whether your seasonal tires already have rims attached before choosing your service.

Comparison of an on-rim tire with a wheel attached and an off-rim loose tire without a wheel.

On-Rim Changeover

Choose this service when your seasonal tires are already mounted on separate rims.

  • Remove the wheels currently on the vehicle
  • Install the seasonal wheel assemblies
  • Tighten the wheel nuts using the correct torque procedure

Usually quicker because the tires remain mounted on their rims.

Off-Rim Changeover

Choose this service when your seasonal tires are loose and do not have rims attached.

  • Remove the current tires from the rims
  • Mount the seasonal tires onto the rims
  • Inflate, balance and reinstall the wheel assemblies

Requires additional time because the tires must be mounted and balanced.

Still Not Sure?

Send EastCord a clear photo of your seasonal tires and we’ll help you choose the correct service.
