Tires in Montreal

Garage Path57 handles seasonal swaps ($50), balancing and installation ($60 to $90 by diameter), storage ($60 per season) and puncture repair.

The law in Quebec

Winter tires are mandatory from December 1 to March 15 on every passenger vehicle registered in Quebec. In practice they go on once temperatures stay below 7 °C — all-season rubber hardens below that point and loses grip well before there is any snow.

Book early

Every year the first snowfall triggers a rush. Montreal garages fill up in days and the wait goes from 24 hours to two weeks. Booking in mid-October for an early-November install costs the same and keeps you off summer tires in the first snow.

Detailed rates

• Tire swap (labour) — $50 per vehicle
• Balance + install 13 to 17 in. — $60 (+$10 runflat or TPMS)
• Balance + install 18 in. — $70
• Balance + install 19 in. — $80
• Balance + install 20 in. — $90
• Storage — $60 per season, dry and temperature-controlled

Storage

Off-season tires take up space, make a mess and age badly on a sunny balcony. Storage at $60 a season keeps them dry and temperature-controlled, and they are at the shop on the day of your appointment.
