Tire services
Everything from a new set to a slow leak.
New tires
All-season, winter, all-weather, summer and performance tires, plus tires for SUVs and light trucks.
Installation and balancing
Mounted and balanced, with the wheel nuts tightened in a star pattern to the torque your maker specifies.1
Seasonal changeovers
Winter tires on in the fall and all-seasons back on in the spring. Book early to get the day you want.
Flat repair
Punctures repaired, or a straight answer if the tire can't be saved safely.
Tire rotation
Tires moved between positions so they wear evenly.2
Tire pressure sensors
TPMS sensors tested, replaced and reset when the tire pressure light won't go out.
Signs you need new tires
Tread depth, damage and age decide how well a tire grips.
- The tread is worn down to the wear indicators in the grooves (2/32″, or 1.6 mm).3
- Cuts, cracks, bulges or blisters on the sidewall.3
- Unusual vibration, pulling or changes in handling.3
- Less grip or longer stops, especially in the wet.3
Put a quarter in the tread with the caribou's nose pointing down. If the tread covers the tip of the nose, you have more than 6/32″ left. If you can see it, your tread is getting low.4
Winter tires, pressure and age
Three things that make a set of tires last and grip.
Winter tires
The Tire and Rubber Association of Canada advises switching to winter tires as soon as the temperature consistently dips below 7°C.5 Winter tires aren't required by law in Ontario, but Ontario insurers offer a discount for them, so ask yours.6
Air pressure
Check the pressure at least once a month, when the tires are cold. Use the pressure on the label on the driver's door edge or door post, not the number on the tire, which is the maximum.7
