Where in GTA to swap summer/winter tires?
« on: November 04, 2006, 05:22:06 pm »
I tried Canadian Tire, waiting time 2 hours (not at Pitstop which has now changed to only doing oil changes as they've hired 2 students), charge is $19.99 per tire.  Also Midas is $20 per tire.

Walmart is $12.50 per tire but line-up from 2.30pm today so won't take any new jobs today, also told me tomorrow is more busy but doesn't take appointments.

Where else in the GTA can I take my car to have the tires swapped at a reasonable price?  (don't have rims for winter tires).

I go to Tiremag on keele   N of 7, S of 16th ( rutherford)     They always use a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts....

Is there any harm in driving with winter tires all year round?

The softer  Q and T rated tires will wear faster in hot conditions.  The H and V rated ones for performance cars will work ok I guess.

You can try a Goodyear tire shop.

Softer compound in winter tire threads will wear out quicker in the summer.
