I already have a winter set. Can you put them on?
That is most of our October and November work. Bring the winters — on rims or loose — and we put them on, balance them, and torque the wheels. Ajax drivers do this every fall at the Whitby shop.
Time to put the winter tires on in Ajax. 411 Drives mounts your winter set — or a new one — at 1020 Dundas Street East in Whitby.
Putting winter tires on in Ajax is the job we do all through October and November. If the set is already on rims in your garage, we swap and balance. If the winters are loose, we mount them, balance them, and put them on the car.
Ajax sits just west of the shop. Harwood, Westney, Salem, Bayly, and Audley all feed Dundas Street East and the 401, which run straight to 1020 Dundas Street East in Whitby. Most Ajax winter-tire appointments are that short eastbound drive.
Do it before the first morning you need them. Harwood Avenue, Westney Road, Salem Road, Bayly Street, and Audley Road are predictable: the temperature drops, the rain turns, and every shop in Durham is full. A booked changeover beats a cancelled commute.
Ajax gets the same lake-effect weather as the rest of the lakeshore. Bayly Street and Kingston Road pack down into polished snow before the plows finish the side streets, and the 401 between Salem and Thickson is a bad place to discover your all-seasons have gone hard. Book the swap while the forecast is still a warning, not a closure.
We also catch the tire that should not go back on. A puncture that held air all summer can let go at highway speed in January. If the tread is down to the wear bars or the sidewall is cracked, we will show you and quote a replacement before those wheels leave the shop.

We will show you the tread and the sidewalls before they go on. If they are not safe for another winter, we can quote a new set the same visit instead of sending you back onto the 401 on tired rubber.
Yes. A seasonal swap that skips the balancer is how you get a steering-wheel shake at highway speed. Balancing is part of putting the winters on.
