The way people shop has changed after the past year and now your seasonal tire change is going the same way. Finally, we don’t have to hang around the dealership or mechanic’s shop to get the winter tires put on.

Thanks to the new Fountain Tire TireMobile, the certified automotive technicians will come with everything they need, including your pre-ordered tires, and do the job outside your house, at work, or wherever is convenient to you.

Even if your tires are ‘All Season’, they’re only good until it hits -7.c, and then things might get slippery. Winter tires are good for rain, snow, ice, and cold below -7.c, which for some reason is the weather where my friends and I are going camping in October. Good job I called the TireMobile and they fixed me up.

Driving around BC, the rain can get super heavy without notice, so tires that are suited for snow and ice have better traction when there’s water on the ground, as well as in snow and ice.

I got fitted with the Dunlop WinterMaxx SJ8’s, which have a few cool features like:

• Combines flexibility and rigidity to help rubber tread adhere to ice surface
• Increased tread-to-ice contact
• Enhanced grip on snow surface and helps performance in wet condition

Whether customers are looking to purchase new or change over to winter tires, all-weather or all-season tires, Fountain Tire TireMobile brings the service to you. Fountain Tire offers a wide selection of tires for cars, SUVs, CUVs, minivans, and trucks to meet the needs of drivers in the Lower Mainland.

Plus, each Fountain Tire TireMobile tire installation or changeover includes a digital vehicle report so you can keep track of the overall health of your vehicle. During a digital vehicle inspection, photos and videos are taken of a vehicle’s tires, brakes, and mechanical systems, and a report is sent directly to a customer’s phone or computer, so the customer sees exactly what the technician sees.

TireMobile appointments can be booked in participating cities at tire-mobile.com or through participating Fountain Tire stores. TireMobile is available in Vancouver and surrounding areas, from West Vancouver to Richmond, Langley, and Port Moody.
