Tire change to winters

Saturns · 10-26-2011, 06:13 AM

Who do you recommend in Markham or surrounding area to switch over to winters? Do they use Hunter Roadforce systems installer/balancer?

Do them yourself

You have a tire mounter and rebalancer.
Remove summer tires from rim. Replace with winter tire.

If you do this yourself you are brave!

Speedstar is Markham is a safe bet. Good guys.

I usually just go to Active Green and Ross lol....but then again I know the guy at the location near to me, so I trust him to do it.

I just bring all my shiet over to Speedstar in Markham!

CHCCubs · 10-26-2011, 12:05 PM

Not sure if they have a hunter roadforce balancer, but I got my winters from joycitytires in Markham and have done the subsequent change-overs there since without any problems.

Will check them out.
Thanks.

Anyone know someone in the dudebridge area? just moved over from Markham, and need to find someone

bulldog_yyc · 10-29-2011, 02:10 PM

speedstar balanced and mounted my winters today in 30 minutes! highly recommend folks check them out!

Great experience with Speedstar.
Better prices than what I got from 1010tires, Tirerack, Simply Tires.
Frank really looked after my dual driver and exotic.

They do have a Hunter machine but not the roadforce..just one or two models down.

Thanks for the recommend guys.

Mounting and balancing.
17" = 70
18"= 80
Something like that.

Heard good things about Select Right Car Detailing in Markham, have yet to try them out though.

Are you changing tires on the same rims? Much better to just buy wheels - less wear and tear on the tires. I swapped over my wife and my own wheels yesterday. Took two hours (I washed and prepped the Summer wheels for storage). I'm a middle-aged geezer. $140 a year per car plus the hassle of going to the garage adds up.
