Changing tyre type on a company car

maurice28

I'm waiting for an answer from my work fleet team on this but thought I'd see if anyone had experience or thoughts in the meantime.

I got a company car a couple of months ago and am contemplating changing the Hankook summer tyres for some all season tyres - either CrossClimate2 or Continental AllSeasonContact2.

Tyre replacement when worn or damaged is part of my company car deal through Lex but I wondered, is it usually allowed to change tyre type like this on a company car? Willing to do this at my expense of course.

My main question is what happens in the future if one of the all season tyre wears down or gets damaged, and needs replacing. Would I be able to get another all season tyre put on, even if they aren't original to the car, perhaps paying the difference if they are more expensive than summer tyres? Looks to be about a £30 or so difference compared to the type of summer tyre on there currently.

Any experience of anyone who has done something similar greatly received while I wait for the answer!

It's ENTIRELY down to the lease company. Their car, their rules.

ask your fleet manager / Lex about winter tyre 'hotel' that they operate (or certainly used to) for winter months where kwik fit store the summer tyres. your company will need to agree the cost
