After 35 years in business I have now completed the transfer of the ownership of Snow Tyres & Roof Carrier Systems to our long-term manager Paul Miles and his wife Alex. I established Roof Carrier Systems in 1985 as Australia’s first ever roof rack & snow chain retail store, and in 2004 expanded the business to include SnowTyres as Australia’s first winter tyre specialist. As well as supplying Nokian winter tyres for cars, SUVs,4WDs, Vans, Trucks, Buses/Coaches & Tractors/Loaders Snowtyres.com.au are now supplying Nokian studded tyres and even Nokian Noktop retreaded winter tyres for commercial vehicles. What started as a humble family business has grown into something far bigger than I ever imagined and I am proud of the legacy that I leave. Through my new venture, SNOW DRIVE SOLUTIONS, I will be continuing my ongoing mission to increase the safety of vehicles, their occupants and other road users by expanding the understanding and use of winter tyres in the alpine areas of Australia. The growing acceptance of the benefits of winter tyres can be likened to an incoming high tide… it comes in slowly but there is absolutely no stopping it!

Thanks for your contributions and knowledge over the years and good luck and all the best for the future.
I've got a new set of snow tyres waiting for me at Tyrepower, Jindabyne. I'm just waiting for the time when it's socially acceptable for me to drive my Forester down there to get them fitted, just in time for season 2020, .................or 21.......... I'm a big fan of snow tyres!
Great job Richard. I’ve had nothing but amazing customer service over the years buying and exchanging chains, organising my snow tyres and a tow bar bike rack. Best of luck with the new venture and also Paul taking over the business.
Well done - thanks for the service over the years - still using roof racks I got from you ages ago - such good value! All the best for the future!
Many thanks to ski forum members for all for your views, ‘likes’, kind words, texts and emails I have received following my post about the changes at RCS & SNOWTYRES. RCS/SNOWTYRES is open for business and has implemented new procedures so that they can provide the same excellent level of service at this difficult time. https://roofcarriersystems.com.au/news/flexible-service-during-coronavirus/ Thanks again Richard
@snow drive solutions all the best for the future Richard. Selling your business of course doesn't mean you have to move on from our forums here Paul (if you're listening), please feel welcome and free to sign up and contribute here!
All the best for the future! Thank you for your excellent customer service and advice over the years, it's always been a pleasure. Great team. Cheers.
