Our ServicesEverything Your Vehicle Needs

New Tires

We carry a wide selection of new tire brands at every price point — from economy to premium. Our staff will help you choose the right tire for your vehicle, driving style, and budget.

Used Tires

Quality pre-owned tires inspected and ready to go. A smart, affordable option when you need reliable rubber without the full price tag of a new set, carefully selected for safety, and durability.

Rims & Wheels

A large collection of alloy and steel wheels to suit every style and vehicle type. From classic to sporty, we stock rims for all tastes and can put together a complete rim and tire package for you.

Tire Installation

Professional tire mounting and installation on all vehicle types — passenger, SUV, light truck, commercial, and more. Every installation includes valve stem service and re-torque.

Wheel Balancing

Using advanced computer spin balancing technology, we ensure your wheels are perfectly balanced for a smooth, vibration-free ride and even tire wear across all four corners.

Tire Rotation

Regular tire rotation maximizes the lifespan of your tires by promoting even wear across all positions. We recommend rotating every 10,000 km or whenever uneven wear appears.

Flat Tire Repair

Punctures and flats repaired quickly and properly. Our technicians fully inspect the tire before any repair to ensure it is safe to drive on. Most flat repairs are completed in about 30 min.

Wheel Alignment

Using Hunter Engineering technology, the fastest and most precise alignment system available, we correct your vehicle's alignment for better handling, fuel efficiency, and longer life.

Oil & Fluid Services

Oil changes, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, washer fluid, and air filter checks. We keep vehicle's vital systems topped up and running cleanly so small issues don't become major.

Got Questions?We Have Answers

The tire you need depends on the kind of car you drive and the type of driving you do. Economy and safety matter for city driving, while motorway drivers may prioritize comfort and fuel efficiency. Sports and luxury car owners often prefer high-performance tires for precision handling and traction. At TireTrade we can advise you on the right tire for your needs at a price that won't break your budget.
If your car is not performing well in wet weather, struggles with handling and grip, or takes longer to stop when braking, your tires may need replacing. Since tire wear is gradual, we recommend monthly tire checks to stay ahead of the wear.
The most accurate method is a tire tread depth gauge — insert the pin into the shallowest groove until the base sits flush with the tire. You can also use the Canadian penny test: place a penny in the groove with the Queen's crown facing down. If you can see the top of the crown, it's time to replace your tires.
Correct tire pressure extends tire life, improves ride comfort, saves fuel, and reduces CO₂ emissions. Did you know 37% of cars run on dangerously under-inflated tires? Keep a pressure gauge in your vehicle and check your tires weekly or whenever something feels off.
Punctures can be repaired if they don't affect the tire's structure. Our technicians will fully inspect the tire before any repair. Note that only the central tread area is repairable — sidewalls cannot be repaired, and V-rated tires and above are limited to one repair.
It's best to replace all four tires at once, though replacing just one is possible if only that tire is worn or damaged. Replacing in pairs — either both fronts or both rears — is often a good compromise for optimum handling. All new tires at TireTrade are balanced when fitted. Our technicians will advise what you actually need — we'll never recommend a tire you don't need.
If you live anywhere in Canada, winter tires are essential. Their specialized rubber compounds and tread designs maintain flexibility in cold temperatures, preventing snow buildup and improving traction on ice. Tests show that at 25 km/h, vehicles with winter tires stopped up to a full car length shorter than those on all-season tires.
