Seasonal tire changeover
Pick your option
It depends on whether your other set of tires is already mounted on wheels.
On rims
Your winter (or summer) tires are already mounted on their own set of wheels.
Usually done while you wait.
Off rims
You have one set of wheels, and the other tires are loose (not on rims).
Takes longer than a swap on rims, because every tire is mounted and balanced.
Tell us your size. We confirm stock and price before you come in.
A common rule of thumb: once daytime temperatures settle around 7°C or colder, put your winter tires on. Below that, all-season tires stiffen and lose grip. In spring, switch back once it stays above 7°C.
Many Ontario insurers offer a discount for winter tires. Ask your insurer what applies to you.
