You have the wheel separate to the motor, so you just replace the wheel? Just like you don't currently have to remove the brakes when you change a wheel.

- jillesvangurp 4y agoNot if the motor is part of the wheel.
- audunw 4y agoBut it wouldn't be part of the wheel... there's no reason for it to be, and it'd make the car impossible to use in countries with snow where you need to change the wheel every spring and winter.
- kolinko 4y agoYou change tires, not the whole wheels between seasons.
- benj111 4y agoStill, what tyre shop is set up to change tyres while still on the vehicle?
- ubercore 4y agoAt least here in Norway, you change the whole wheel.
- prvit 4y agoDepends entirely on the car and the wheels. For cheaper cars with cheaper wheels it’s cheaper to have two sets of wheels instead of paying someone to dismount and mount your tires. For a fancier car with expensive wheels, it’s generally going to be more expensive to buy another set of wheels than pay for 5 years of tire mounting.
