320icar isn't the only one here that works for a shop. I'm sure one of us can get you a deal on winter rims next season lol

:lol Same

Hate those machines. Thankfully I don't have to work on tires though. Well, not retail ones anyway...

Personally, I just use a breaker bar and torque wrench. Both can be found at Canadian Tire at good prices when it's on sale.

I don't work in a shop or change tires many times throughout the year, so I prefer to just keep it simple.

Should take it to The Speed Syndicate.
They actually charge less then KalTire and they also use a touchless tire changing machine.
And guarantee their techs are better too.

Stupid kal tire worker dropped my rim on its' face. Should have went to TSS instead.

Swapped on my summers today :fullofwin:

I purchased my winters through Kal Tire so I get free swaps. The Fleetwood location of Kal Tire is one of the better ones in terms of techs and how it is run. Never had an issue there.

where would be the cheapest place to get tires swapped in surrey?

Jas29 03-17-2018 04:59 PM

They are now forecasting snow by end of week. Daily Hive

I just swapped out my winter tires. Vancouver weather is too unpredictable.

whitev70r 03-19-2018 09:39 PM

^ I don't think it's the kind that will stick and stay on the ground or affect your driving. Maybe wet snow/slush. You'll be fine.

It’s pretty normal. I remember growing up in elementary / highschool, I’d say it had a 50% chance to snow during spring break at least one day, and that’s richmond. So yeah snow in March is pretty normal
