- LCLeah Christensen5 days ago5.0Highly recommend this shop. I will never use another company again. They went above and beyond for what I needed. Neil and the team were so helpful. They made my order expedite faster at no extra cost. You walk in and the gentlemen are very welcoming. I had new tires and rims put on in record time. They also had expert advise on my size of rims and the better diameter for winter conditions. 10/10 would recommend to others.
- HGHolly GoertzenDec 31, 20255.0Amazing, friendly service. They helped us out in an emergency when other shops literally laughed off our request. Very timely service, they go above and beyond. Makes it easy to give them our business, I would give more stars if I could.
- DRDon RygusDec 5, 20255.0My first visit to Fountain Tire Cochrane today. The experience was very positive and professional. Definitely be back.
- LSLeeAnna ScottDec 2, 20255.0I had a great experience with my service appt last week and feel it’s important to share! My service appt was just a winter tire change over but I brought the wrong tires to swap by accident! As they told me, my minr immediately was like crap- how or when could I even book a new appt as my work life is nonstop these days. Instead, I didn’t even need to respond, they otherwise offered to drive me to my house and get the right tires and it meant so much! Thank you team- it’s that little extra of service or support that makes companies stand out compared to the rest.

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
- Belt and hose inspection
- Battery test
- Tire and pressure check
- Heating/cooling system check
- 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.
