Which Winter Service Do You Need?
All prices are before tax, plus HST.
Mount and Balance: One Set of Wheels
If you have one set of wheels, we take the old tires off, mount your winter tires on the same wheels and balance all four. Priced by rim size (see the table above).
Changeover: Winter Tires Already on Their Own Wheels
If both sets are already on their own wheels, we take one set off and bolt the other set on. From $60. Large SUVs and trucks add $20.
Wheel Balancing
For tires already on wheels that need balancing, for example if you feel a vibration in the steering wheel at highway speed. From $80 for all four. Mud tires are $60 extra.
Flat Repair: Plug or Patch
Slow leak or a nail? We find the leak and fix it with a plug or patch, $50 per tire. We don't repair sidewalls. If the damage is in the sidewall, we'll show you and go over your options before doing any work.
Winter Wheel Packages
A winter wheel and tire package puts your winter tires on their own set of wheels. After that, each season is a changeover instead of a mount and balance. You can search wheels and packages by vehicle on the Wheel and Package tabs of our Shop Tires page, or see our Custom Wheels page.
-
Fitment: before we mount the tires, we test-fit a wheel on your vehicle.
-
TPMS sensors: if your vehicle has a tire pressure monitoring system, new wheels need new sensors. The sensors in your current wheels can't be moved over. Call 905-231-2231 for pricing.
-
Lug nuts, locks and hub rings: we supply them, at an extra charge.
-
Steel or alloy: we have both for winter packages.
When to Put Winter Tires On
Put your winter tires on when the temperature stays below 7°C. Most drivers in Ajax and Durham switch in late October or November. Book early to get a time that suits you.
Why Winter Tires Matter in Ontario
Winter tires are made for temperatures below 7°C. The rubber stays softer in the cold, and the tread is built for snow, slush and ice, so winter tires grip and stop better than all-seasons in cold, snow and ice. We supply winter tires for sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, luxury and performance cars, and EVs, including Teslas.
Winter Tire FAQ
When should I put my winter tires on?
When the temperature stays below 7°C. Most drivers in Ajax and Durham switch in late October or November. You can book your install or changeover online.
Is mount and balance included in the price of the tires?
No. Mount and balance is a separate labour charge per set of four, priced by rim size: $100 up to 15", $120 for 16" to 18", $130 for 19", $140 for 20", $150 for 21", $160 for 22", $180 for 23", $280 for 24" and $400 for 26". Prices are before tax, plus HST. See all our tire services and prices.
What's the difference between a changeover and a mount and balance?
A changeover is for when your winter tires are already on their own wheels. We take one set off and bolt the other set on, from $60 plus HST, and large SUVs and trucks add $20. A mount and balance is for when you have one set of wheels and the tires have to be swapped on them. That's priced by rim size.
Do I need TPMS sensors for winter tires?
Only if you're buying a winter wheel package. New wheels need new sensors, and the sensors in your current wheels can't be moved over. Call us at 905-231-2231 for pricing. If your winter tires go on your current wheels, your sensors stay where they are.
Can you install winter tires I bought somewhere else?
Yes. We install tires bought elsewhere. Call us at 905-231-2231 or book a mount and balance online.
Are there rebates on winter tires?
Some brands have manufacturer rebates on right now. See our Offers page for the current list. The current rebates need a purchase of four tires.
Is there an eco fee?
Yes, $6 per tire.
Do I need to call ahead for a truck?
No. You can book online like any other vehicle. Balancing mud tires is $60 extra.
