What does a tire change cost off the rims?

Off the rims means we dismount your existing tires from the wheels and mount your other set onto those same wheels, which includes machine balancing every wheel. A full set of four runs from $70 on a small car up to $250 on heavy commercial vehicles.

Off-rim pricing, full set of four

All prices pre-tax. Includes mount, dismount, machine balance, tire shine, inflation to spec, torque to spec, and packaging for the tires coming off.

What does a tire change cost on the rims?

On the rims means your second set is already mounted on its own wheels, so we swap complete wheels onto the vehicle. No dismounting, no balancing, less labour, lower price. A full set starts at $35 for a small vehicle.

On-rim pricing, full set of four

Is a second set of rims worth it?

If you change tires twice a year, the maths gets straightforward. A small car pays $70 twice a year off the rims, versus $35 twice a year on the rims. That difference compounds every season, and the changeover is faster on top of it. A dedicated set of winter rims is an up-front cost that pays itself back over several seasons.

The reaction we get at $70 for a full set is basically no reaction at all. People pay it. It is not dealership pricing, it is not expensive for what it is, and honestly most customers do not compare it to anything, they just pay the price and get on with their day. In all the sets we have done, we can think of maybe one person who said it was a bit more than they wanted to spend. What we want people to understand is that a fair price does not mean a rushed job. We treat every car and every set of wheels like it is our own. We do not scratch rims and we do not damage rims, and that care is not the thing we trade away to keep the price where it is.

What is included in the price?

Everything needed to do the job properly. Tire shine, used tire packaging, standard rubber valve stem install, valve caps, inflation to spec, and torque to spec are all included at no extra charge on every tire service. It also includes a free re-torque check at around 100 km, so nothing is left loose after the swap.

What does it cost to dispose of old tires?

Nothing. Disposal is free on every vehicle, every size, every time. If you want your old set gone we recycle it at no charge, and if you would rather keep it we bag it for you, also at no charge. There is no disposal line on a changeover invoice.

If you are keeping your old set, packaging is free and included. If you want them gone, recycling is free too. Either way there is nothing to pay.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a winter tire changeover for an SUV in Fredericton? A full set of four off the rims on a medium vehicle, meaning an SUV, minivan, or crossover, is $90 pre-tax. That includes mounting, dismounting, machine balancing, inflation to spec, torque to spec, tire shine, and packaging for the set coming off.

Is it cheaper to have winter tires on their own rims? Yes, considerably. A full on-rim swap starts at $35 for a small vehicle versus $70 off the rims, because there is no dismounting or balancing involved. A second set of rims costs money up front and pays for itself over several seasons of cheaper, faster changeovers.

Are there extra charges on top of the tire change price? The posted price covers the work. Tire shine, used tire packaging, standard rubber valve stems, valve caps, inflation to spec, and torque to spec are all included at no charge. Extras only apply if you need something specific like a metal or TPMS valve stem at $15, or a replacement lug nut at $5.

Do you charge to dispose of old tires? No. Disposal is free on every vehicle and every tire size. If you want your old set gone we recycle it at no charge, and if you would rather keep it we bag it for you at no charge. Either way it costs you nothing.
