buy another set of wheels. swap the entire set twice a year. usually the shop will charge you less to swap a whole wheel than to swap the tires themselves (less labor). if you have a small apartment, the unused set can make nice stools for guests. if that aesthetic isn't for you, there are things called "storage units" that you can rent to store things you don't want to keep in your apartment.

- leetcrew 6y agothey make bags for wheels.
- leetcrew 6y agonah but if I were, I suspect the excessive amount of computers, ethernet cables, and guitars would be a bigger issue than the "stools" ;) but seriously, there is an observation to be made here about social norms around vehicle safety. all-season tires are not safe for winter use in large swathes of north america. why do we scoff at people who prepare appropriately?
- 0_____0 6y agothe jab is in good fun. i've had some very...patient partners, lets say. most people i know who drive in the northeast don't have any qualms with having a 2nd wheelset and storing it. i think there's a rather NA quirk to GP's comment -- they live in a small urban apartment, with no storage space available, but still have to own a car.
