Something not covered here? Contact us or read the general FAQ.
- Do I need a second set of wheels?
- A mounted second set makes the swap straightforward. If your seasonal tires are not mounted on their own wheels, contact us first and we will explain what is involved.
- When should winter tires go on in the GTA?
- Most drivers switch as sustained temperatures approach single digits. Changeover season gets busy, so booking earlier gives more choice of dates.
- Do you store tires?
- Storage is not currently offered as part of this service. Ask us when you book and we will tell you what we can and cannot do.
