Short answer: yes. You can have tires installed in your driveway, your apartment parking lot, or the lot at work without ever driving to a tire shop. On-site tire installation is exactly what mobile tire companies do.
If you’ve never used one, here’s how the process works with Donut Mobile Tire, from booking to driving away.
Step 1: Enter your vehicle
Go to donutmobiletire.com/shop-for-tires and enter your vehicle’s year, make, and model, or your tire size. Your tire size is printed on the sidewall of the tire and looks something like 235/60R16. You’ll also find it on a sticker inside the driver’s door jamb.
Step 2: Pick your tires
Browse the tires that fit your vehicle, from brands like Michelin, Bridgestone, Goodyear, Continental, and Pirelli, and compare prices. Not sure what you need? Request a quote and tell us what’s going on, whether it’s a flat, worn tread, or a tire that keeps losing air.
Step 3: Choose a time and place
Pick when and where you want the installation done. Popular spots:
- Home: your driveway, garage, or in front of your house.
- Work: your office or job site parking lot while you’re on the clock.
- Apartments: your assigned spot or a guest space, as long as the property allows it.
The technician just needs a reasonably flat, paved surface with enough room to work around the vehicle.
Step 4: We bring the tires and the tools
We show up with your tires and everything needed to do the job: a tire changer, a wheel balancer, air, and a torque wrench. The technician removes each wheel, mounts and balances the new tire, reinstalls the wheel, torques the lug nuts to spec, and sets your tire pressure. Then you drive away. No waiting room, no ride home, no rearranging your day.
What to have ready
- Keys, or a plan to get them to the technician.
- Your wheel lock key, if your wheels have locking lug nuts. It’s usually in the glove box or with the spare tire.
- Clear access to all four wheels.
- Permission if you’re at work or in an apartment complex that has rules about vehicle service in the lot.
Do I have to be there?
Not the whole time. Many customers hand off the keys and go back inside, back to their desk, or back to their meeting. We’ll let you know when it’s done.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a mobile tire installation take?
Usually around an hour for a set of four tires, depending on the vehicle. A single tire or a flat repair is typically quicker.
Can you change my tires in an apartment parking lot?
Yes, as long as your property allows vehicle service in the lot and there’s room for the van to park next to your car.
Do I need to be there during the tire change?
No. You just need to get us the keys and the wheel lock key if your car has one. Most customers stay inside or keep working while we handle it.
What tires can I choose from?
Almost anything that fits your vehicle, from major brands to budget-friendly used tires. Read what tires you can get from a mobile tire service, or shop tires for your vehicle.
