Who's buying new snow tires this winter? (which means "snow tyres" for those who know what a toast cooling rack is)
I did my research! I've got the scoop! Like, what do you need to know about buying a new set of snows, eh? 🇨🇦

I've always used 'TireCraft' which is a chain of tire-related auto shops throughout Ontario and they also do other routine maintenance things on cars as well, not just tires. But tires are their specialty.
Don't know how close this one is to you, but here's one you can check out...

I have used Canadian Tire at one time in my life and there's nothing wrong with their mechanics, but they always use their own CTC parts which is not always a great idea.
For that reason I have avoided CTC and gone to TireCraft instead because if my car needed any parts, they would just order original parts from the local auto supply store, or from the Dealer who also stock parts, who would then deliver them to the TireCraft shop within an hour and then they'd do the repair work as required.
For generic things like having snow tires put on your car if you already own snow tires, CTC is just fine for that transition from summer to winter to summer, but I would not purchase CTC brand tires if I were shopping for new tires.
