- YPYHWH podacstJan 2, 20261.0I had a very disappointing experience at this Fountain Tire. I brought my car in to be checked, expecting a proper inspection and explanation. Instead, my car was left outside and I wasn’t given any clear details about what was wrong or what needed to be done. The staff were not very friendly and did not take the time to explain anything. Customer service is very important, and unfortunately this location did not meet my expectations. I will not be returning.
- DAdrew ainsworthNov 26, 20251.0Bought four new all season tires at Fountain tire in spring of 2024. Last fall I noticed one tire had a slow leak (rim/bead leak) when the weather turned cold. Fountain tire was busy (fall tire swaps) so I left it until spring since I had my winter tires already on my truck. Of course there was no leak in spring so I forgot about issue until this fall. I brought my tire in to Fountain tire because I did a soap test and found the leak which is typically due to an improper initial install. Fountain tire fixed thier error but charged me $40. They did not honor any warranty or assume responsibility. Last time I buy tires or bring my truck to FT.
- LBL BeaudinNov 25, 20254.0Ruptured a sidewall. Dead flat. The guys went looking for a way that I wouldn't have to get 4 tires. Put on the spare and booked me in for the new tire. Amazing staff.
- CKCathy KiddNov 15, 20255.0My husband was there today and the staff were absolutely amazing we will definitely will be going back.

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.
