tire replacement

Wheel gets changed

Tire replacement is the process of removing worn or damaged tires from a vehicle and installing new ones.

The term covers both the service performed at auto shops and the general concept of swapping old tires for fresh ones: The mechanic said I was overdue for a tire replacement.

Unlike tire rotation, which repositions existing tires, replacement involves purchasing new rubber.
