- SMSpencer MackaySep 17, 20255.0I got a flat tire on my way from Yellowknife and they were able to Source me out the same size tire had a pretty good discount when I picked it up I guess they ended up giving that tire away to inventory the day before so they just price matched me with another tire without any question I was able to get in and out right away with purchasing the tire it was super convenient they were all very polite and professional and the store manager going above and beyond thank you very much
- ALashly laarhuisSep 4, 20251.0“First come first serve we will get u in right away” 6 hrs later still nothing. Do not recommend if ur in a hurry. Time management very poor. Service workers give the same right away speech. Had to put my own compressor on the truck cause it sat so long tire was flat and they couldn’t reach it with air hose. Absolute joke. Never again go anywhere else for better service.
- RKRick KrupaJul 29, 20255.0Excellent service, stood behind their workmanship. Had a follow up appointment after tire and wheel installation and they repaired without issue or cost. Would highly recommend. Thank you again
- FKFabian KennyJul 22, 20255.0I was travelling to Dawson City on my 2001 Goldwing Motorcycle when I was loosing air in my front tire due to a damaged valve stem. I contacted 2 local motorcycle shops who blew me off eventho I was removing the front wheel myself. I dropped into Fountain Tire and explained my situation to the service manager. He smiled and told me to remove my wheel which took me 15 mins. He personally installed a new valve stem for me in 5 mins. (No Kidding) I was totally impressed. Great tire shop. Thank you again for your professional service and hospitality. Fabian Kenny
- MWMike WingJun 18, 20251.0They always try to find reasons to refuse to work on your tires so they can sell new stuff. Once, they told me that my rim was cracked and couldn't be used when it was actually a line of surface rust. This time, they told me that they wouldn't mount my tire because my tire was more than 10 years old and pointed out a tiny surface crack on treads. They emphasize safety from a professional point of view. However, their work is hit and miss. Tire pressure is not always set at specifications after their work, so I always have to go to a gas station to check and adjust it by myself. Once they left my lug nut lock on my wheel. If I had driven away without checking, I would have lost it. I've used this business because it is a local business that employs Canadians, but I think I've had enough that I can clearly say I do not recommend this business.
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.
