Author Topic: Where to buy tire totes/bags? (Read 4028 times)

I'd like to buy tire totes to store my tires properly. I've found this product on amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Seasonal-Tire-Tote/dp/B000KPIXEA) and was wondering if anyone knew where to find similar product locally (Ottawa) or online with reasonable shipping costs. I know Canadian Tire has some, but they look pretty cheap and small (they don't seem to cover all of the rubber). Any suggestions?

EDIT: Just noticed James had reviewed the Kurgo Tire Totes a couple of years ago: http://www.canadiandriver.com/2008/03/12/product-review-tire-tote.htm

Tirerack has them for $19.99 for the pair (branded with Tire Rack though) and shipping around $16. Also found them on 1010Tires at $26.99 with shipping about $12. A bit more than I was hoping to pay; still hoping to find them locally to save on shipping.

Also try Canadian Tire or Costco.

Got mine from Acura dealer for reasonable price - around 40 bucks if I recall. Was in 2007 though

Try your Hyundai dealer -- since they would be superior to all others as well.

Couldn't resist.

I might even be lucky and get them financed for 0% over 72 months!!

I should have added that I bought them at the same time as I got my winter wheels & tires, and since i'm a "preferred customer" (so they tell me) i got a deal on the baggies

Canadian Tire sells them http://reviews.canadiantire.ca/9045/0082000P/no-seasonal-tire-tote-reviews/reviews.htm

What I do, I have a tire stand from them on sale last year for $30 http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/4/Auto/AutoTools/CreepersJacksStands/PRD~0090073P/Tire%2BStand.jsp

You stack them and it comes with a cover so you cover all of the tires so you don't need 4 tire totes.

Right on the link you gave me... This product is no longer available.

Thanks for the help though...

Couldn't find anything with a few searches...

Costco and Canadian Tire should have them in stock this time of year. Princess auto also does have some but they are cheaper feeling.

Shnak · « **Reply #11 on:** October 05, 2010, 08:15:18 am »

canadiantire.ca only has one set of cheaper looking totes... I'll go there in person to see if they have different products. If not, I may just order from from 1010tires.com, although not cheap at $27/pair plus like $12 shipping.

A cheaper alternative...

Fall Catalogue. Page 243. Seems to be a decent product.

Shnak · « **Reply #14 on:** October 05, 2010, 09:40:19 am »

Alright, I've downloaded the catalog and checked page 243. All I'm seeing are those 4 tire storage covers and spare tire covers at $19.99. I'm not seeing actual individual tire storage totes. Am I missing something?

That's what I got, a cover for four tires for under $10.

Yeah ok, not what I'm looking for. I want individual sturdy totes to ease storage, but also not to dirty myself too much when transporting the tires. Besides, I also need individual bags because I've built seperate shelves to store my tires.

I purchased the tire totes at Canadian Tire three years ago and they're holding up well.

4 garbage bags or ask a tire shop for some free plastic ones. I got some ones that say Pirelli. Fancy.

My Acura dealer has them for $40 for a set of four. Surprised the hell outta me!
They gave them to me for free as they owed me a favor.
