Looks great and very neat and tidy but why don't you use all season tires :lol:

Standard tyres are all season and one thing they are not, and that is for all seasons :D

Difference with driving with proper winters on an X5 is enormous, Ie it makes it a proper 4x4 on snow instead of a heavy sledge.
 
Perhaps make a wooden "hub" on each board, so you can secure the wheels to the boards, and use the hoist to build a "dumb waiter" type arrangement, so you can push the wheels out when they are at the attic level?

Been thinking about something similar, as I have two sets to store, and rolling them up the stairs is a pain.
 
@sars- during the bad winters, the X5 is the only car we use, so it automatically includes parental ferrying about :lol:
 
@john and Mark- as this exactly in the middle of a 4 bay garage, I have some space on the other side, so might bridge the gap to "rail" the trolley over the gap to the other side when empty.

I don't know how the summer wheels will fit there at the moment as they are huge.

Problem for next year .... :headbang:
 
The building is fully open at the front and only half of the ceiling is boarded so I assume there is plenty of airflow.

Doing the floor next with resin as the dust from the concrete is horrendous.

I wished I had the space to be honest, I did think of getting one of those lockable plastic garden storage boxes for the winter wheels but decided all seasons were a decent compromise for the Z3.
