Hey Rui, Do You Sell Tires?
If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Hey Rui, do you sell tires?”—the answer is a resounding YES! Here at My Neighbourhood Mechanic, we do more than just repairs and maintenance; we’re also your go-to tire shop for all your vehicle’s needs.
As we step into March, it’s time to start thinking about swapping out your winter tires for summer ones. Warmer weather means better road conditions, and having the right tires ensures optimal performance, safety, and fuel efficiency. If you need a seasonal tire change, we’re here to help!
When Should Seasonal Tires Be Changed?
The optimal time frame for scheduling a tire change is when the daily average temperature consistently reaches a minimum of 7°C. Early replacement of winter tires may lead to exposure to unexpected spring snowstorms. Conversely, prolonged use of winter tires can accelerate the degradation of their softer rubber compounds, leading to increased replacement costs over time.
Numerous insurance providers offer premium discounts for the use of winter tires, although eligibility criteria typically stipulate a usage period from November 1 to March 31. Prior to the removal, it is advisable to verify any specific requirements set by your insurance provider. To ensure convenience, it is recommended to book your appointment in advance.

Tires are one of the most critical components of your car. They are the only part of your vehicle that has contact with the road, which means their condition directly impacts your safety, handling, and fuel efficiency. Whether you need new tires, a seasonal swap, or a repair, we've got you covered.

Understanding Tire Sizes
Tire sizes can be confusing but understanding them is crucial when selecting the right tires for your vehicle. A typical tire size looks like this: P215/65R16 95H. Here’s what each part of the number means:
P – This indicates the tire type. “P” stands for Passenger vehicle. Some tires may have “LT” (Light Truck) for trucks and SUVs. Some tires may not have any letters before the numeric size, indicating a “Euro-metric” type tire.
215 – This is the width of the tire in millimeters (mm), measured from sidewall to sidewall.
65 – This is the aspect ratio, which is the height of the tire’s sidewall as a percentage of its width. In this case, the height is 65% of 215mm.
R – This stands for Radial construction, which is the most common type of tire construction.
16 – This represents the wheel diameter in inches. This tire fits on a 16-inch wheel.
95H – This is the load index and speed rating. The load index (95) tells you how much weight the tire can support, and the speed rating (H) indicates the maximum speed the tire can handle safely.
Selecting the right tire size ensures your vehicle maintains optimal performance, handling, and safety.

Wheel alignment ensures that your vehicle's wheels are set to the correct angles, allowing for even tire wear and optimal handling.
