- ATAllie TempleNov 13, 20255.0Ralph, Damian and the team at Fountain Tire Cochrane are always efficient and friendly to deal with for anything tire related. They’re so helpful and find the best prices on tires
- JEJermiah EnglishOct 18, 20251.0After breaking down in Cochrane for attending a funeral from grande prairie and had the Napa suggest this location to get bearings done, the person I talked with laughed at me like it didn’t matter. Totally unacceptable, unappreciated, unprofessional. I have nothing but horrible 1st impression and do not recommend this location to anyone. The grande prairie locations are curious and helpful these people were ignorant and had no help and again laughed at the idea of helping another human being. Shame on this organization and this location. I pray you learn compassion for your fellow man and learn to be a civil human being. I hope head office finds this and u will definitely be sending this to them as well.
- RLRyan LoewenOct 8, 20255.0Best tire shop in town ! Ralph and his team are so accommodating. They’ve always helped me in a pinch
- GPGary PatryOct 8, 20255.0Had a tire develop a slow leak due to a staple punching thru the side of the thread…. FOUNTAIN tire in Cochrane inspected it and determined it was not repairable ( I was not surprise due to location of the punctures). They had taken me without appointment . Sadly I had bought the tire elsewhere and it was still under warranty. Fountain tire had dismounted and wrapped my tire and rim and put on my spare al by . The other shop honored the warranty so it will have to be replace there… but just wanted to say I was very impressed with Cochrane Fountain Tires level of services and will definitely be considering them on my next new tire purchase. Thanks again, I will make sure to recommend you to my friends looking for new tires or service.
- SWS.R. WatkinsSep 18, 20255.0Two issues: firstly I was charged $198 by a quick lube place for an oil change and Fountain Tire charged me $145 for exactly the same thing. Secondly, my wife's old car needed some serious engine work. As usual, I was treated with excellent service, my questions were answered, and the work was completed ahead of schedule. The owner is a hands-on operator, and the front staff are knowledgeable, polite and the service is excellent. This is a well run operation and highly recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions About Fountain Tire
When should I replace my tires?
Tires wear out over time, and how long they last depends on things like road conditions, driving habits, inflation, and temperature. The best way to know when to replace them is to check them regularly.
Common ways to measure tread include the following.
- Tread wear bars: When these are flush with the tread, it’s time to replace.
- Coin test: If too much of the coin shows, your tread is low.
- Tread depth gauge: The most accurate way to measure.
If your tread is low or you see cracks, bulges, or notice vibration, come see us.
What are some signs my vehicle is out of alignment?
It doesn’t take much to throw your alignment off—potholes, curbs, or just everyday driving. Poor alignment can lead to faster tire wear and poor handling.
Common signs include:
- Vehicle pulls to one side
- Crooked steering wheel
- Uneven tire wear
- Loose or unstable steering
- Vibration in the steering wheel
If something feels off, we’re happy to take a look.
What’s included in the seasonal car care package?
Our seasonal car care package gets your vehicle ready for the weather ahead. It includes:
- Fresh engine oil and filter
- Chassis lubrication (as needed)
- Charging and starting system check
- Brake inspection
- Fluid top-ups

- Lights, wipers, and overall safety check
It’s a great way to make sure your vehicle is ready for the season.
What do the numbers on my tires mean?
The numbers on your tire’s sidewall tell you the size, load rating, and speed rating.
Example: 225/55R17 97H
- 225 – Tire width (mm)
- 55 – Height as a % of width
- R – Radial construction
- 17 – Wheel diameter (inches)
- 97 – Load rating (how much weight it can carry)
- H – Speed rating (maximum safe speed)
These numbers help us match you with the right tire.
When should I put my winter tires on?
A good rule of thumb: when you can see your breath — about 7°C and below. At that temperature, all-season tires start to harden, while winter tires stay flexible and grippy. Booking early helps you beat the rush.
