Winter Tire Change Cost

It’s time to switch to winter tires and here’s how much money you can expect to spend on this.

Winter Tire Change Cost

Switching from summer to winter tires will cost you anywhere between CDN $120 to CDN $160 depending on the wheel size and the type of car.

Breakdown Of Costs

Why the ‘relatively new vehicle’ stipulation? Murphy ’s Law states that any new vehicle you buy, won’t take the same rims or tires as your trade-in. So if your current ride is due for replacement in the next 1-4 years, and you’ve been using winter tires without their own rims all along, you’re unlikely to recoup any costs of purchasing winter rims.
