New tires

Tell us the size on your sidewall and we show you three honest choices in that size, side by side, with the installed total for a set of four before you say yes.

Racks of alloy wheels on display in a bright tire showroom

Three tiers, one size

Budget, mid-range or premium

Same size, three price points. Here is what the extra money buys, on plain three-step scales rather than invented lab numbers.

Budget

$105 / tire

205/55R16 example, before install

Safe, certified, and fine for short in-town driving. Expect a firmer ride, more road noise, and fewer kilometres before the next set.

Mid-range

$150 / tire

205/55R16 example, before install

Where most of our customers land. Quieter, better wet braking, and longer tread life for a modest step up in price.

Premium

$195 / tire

Usually the shortest braking and best handling in independent tests, the longest tread warranties, and the quietest ride. Worth it for highway kilometres.

Questions about new tires

All questions

Do you carry name brands?

We stock several tire lines in each tier and can order most others. We're an independent shop, not a factory dealer for any brand, so we pick the lines that test well and return few warranty claims.

Can I buy just two tires?

Yes. New tires go on the rear axle for stability, and we'll tell you if the tread gap with the other pair is too big for an all-wheel-drive system.
