Winter tires
Winter tire changeover in Markham
Ontario winters punish all-seasons. From mid-October we swap or remount winter tires, torque the wheels, and set pressures for cold mornings.
If your winters are on their own rims the swap takes about half an hour. If they need mounting it is closer to an hour and we balance every wheel.
We note tread depth on the set coming off so you know whether it will do another season. Storage is your garage or ours; ask when you book.
Frequently asked questions
When should I put winter tires on?
When the daily high stays around 7 degrees or lower, which in Markham is usually late October to mid-November. Before the first snow, not after.
Do I need four winter tires or just two?
Four. Two winters on one axle make the car unpredictable in a skid. We will not mount two.
How much does a changeover cost?
Ask when you book; the price depends on whether the tires are on rims or need mounting and balancing. We tell you before we start.
