Tires & Seasonal Tire Changeovers in Guelph
New tires quoted with installation, seasonal swaps done right, and flat repairs that hold — no drama in April and November.
Tires are the one part of the car that touches the road, and the part most people run past their limit. Ontario doesn't mandate winter tires, but on Guelph's hills and the Highway 6 and 7 commutes they're the difference between stopping and sliding, and most insurers give a discount for them. We sell tires, swap them, balance them, repair them and keep the pressure-monitoring system happy.
Tire sales
All-season, all-weather, winter and light-truck tires from the major brands, quoted with mounting, balancing, valve stems and disposal so the number you hear is the number you pay. We'll tell you when a mid-tier tire is the smart buy and when it isn't.
Seasonal changeovers
Swaps on separate rims are quick; swaps that mean dismounting and remounting take longer and cost more. Either way we check tread depth and pressures, torque the wheels to spec, and reset TPMS where needed. Book early — the first cold week in November and the first warm week in April fill up fast.
Repairs and balancing
Punctures in the tread are plugged and patched from the inside (the only repair that holds). Sidewall damage isn't repairable and we'll say so. Vibration at highway speed is usually balance, occasionally a bent rim or a separated tire — we'll find which.
Tread depth and pressure guidance is published by Transport Canada (and its winter tire guidance); we follow it, and we'll show you the gauge.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a seasonal tire swap in Guelph?
On separate rims, roughly $60–$100. Dismount and remount on the same rims, $110–$180 including balancing. TPMS reset where needed.
Do you store tires?
Ask when you book — storage space is limited and allocated first come, first served each season.
Can you repair a nail in my tire?
If it's in the tread and not too close to the shoulder, yes, with a proper plug-patch from the inside. Sidewall or shoulder damage means replacement.
Do you sell tires for trucks and trailers?
Yes — light-truck, LT-rated and trailer tires, including for vehicles coming in for a yellow-sticker inspection.
When should I put winter tires on?
When daily temperatures sit around 7°C or below — usually early to mid November in Guelph.
