Title: Tubes in tires
Post by Anthony_T on 01/22/7 at 19:38:00

I am looking for a reliable place to have my winter tires installed with tubes for the upcoming Rallye Perce-Neiges. I would prefer someplace in west-Toronto but reliablity is most imporant. The last place I used, I had a tire blow out on me within 200k of intalling it. Recommendations?
Thanks, Anthony

Don't go to canadian tire that 's for sure ;D
Stuff like this I always do for myself.

Best bet... see if you can find a shop that will let you use their tire changer. Learn how to use it. Then when you're at an event... you simply have to find a shop willing to let you rent their tire changer... and you know how to use it!

Can't really recommend any shops in the area.

So far the only shops I know of that have experience doing tubes are:
Wheel & Tire Zone (Mississauga)
Nantucet Tire (Scarborough)
Steele Case Tire and Mag (404&Steeles)

and of course any of the Rally shops, like 4*, PM and CAMJAM

There's an OK Tire (Sisca's) on Dupont just west of Bathurst that put tubes in my RallyX tires. I had to supply my own tubes though.
