Chipper tyres

Just looking at the chipper tyres and would say they are starting to look on the slick side. As I've never actually changed a chipper tyre I thought I'd ask how people go about it on here. I have a spare which is brand new on the wheel but would like to keep it like that just incase of an emergency.

I'm guessing it's just a case of taking it in to a car garage and saying "how much", or am I going to have to take it in to Forst? It might be a very obvious question but I have never had to deal with one in the 8 years I have been doing this.

Thanks in advance people :-).

Yeah this.. Need to do mine as well so will run it in and have them done when passing or you can buy new wheels with tyres on for £60-70 and just swap them

That sounds pretty cheep but then it means a trip down the M4 for the swap.

This is what I end up doing (mainly on trailer wheels). You pay an extra £15-20 for the steel wheel but it's usually a tenner ago to change a tyre at my local place and you have to find time to pop in and wait. I was able to sell a set of 4 mixed and worn tyres/wheels on ebay for £30 so I nearly broke even.
