- DDDudeskiFeb 6, 20265.0By far the best tire shop in Nanaimo. Quality work that they stand behind, well balanced oversized tires, ride is so smooth now and it’s not the first truck I’ve got them to do tires on. Thanks for the centre caps Darrell
- HHHammond HJan 12, 20265.0Great service
- NGNadine GoughDec 29, 20255.0Fantastic service and great help Thought it was a brake issue turned out to be a rock. They helped us pleasantly quickly.
- KTKenny ThorpDec 25, 20255.0Just had new performance power stop brake kit installed. Very nice upgrade . Excellent work. Thanks Fountain Tire.
- EFEric FisherDec 13, 20251.0Terrible people. I just went to pick up a tire for work. The guy at the counter ignored me, then they told me to wait for someone to load it and I waited forever, ended up doing it myself. More screws and bolts and scrap metal in the parking lot than I've ever seen. Just don't go. Go to Cedar tire.
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.
