- CRChantelle RichmondOct 19, 20255.0Always have a good experience. Gives me the small town service feel. I continue to go back time after time !
- MMMitch MOct 11, 20255.0I have been shopping at this location since I first started driving 15 years ago. They have helped me, my family and friends with getting the best prices on tires, winter rims and the odd ball tires when something bad happens. I have had mechanical service done as well, and always kept it fair for pricing. They never charge for minor things, and are always competitive with their pricing. The newer owner Andy is a gem and always makes me and my family feel welcomed. I can't express enough how good customer service has driven me to continue to support this business, even when I moved 2.5 hours away and have my own tire shops in my local town. I will still make the trip and shop here because of what they do for me.

- KWKelly and John woltjerOct 6, 20255.0Great service as always. Love that I can book an appointment online and work it into to my schedule. Dropped vehicle off for new winters at appointment time and they had me out in under an hour. Andy and staff are top notch.
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.
