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. Brooklin drivers do this every fall at the Whitby shop.
Time to put the winter tires on in Brooklin. 411 Drives mounts your winter set — or a new one — at 1020 Dundas Street East in Whitby.
Putting winter tires on in Brooklin 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.
Brooklin is north Whitby. Baldwin Street, Winchester Road, and Thickson Road North drop you down to Dundas Street East and the shop. The first snowfall often sticks on the hills north of town before it sticks on the 401, which is why Brooklin drivers book the winter swap early.
Do it before the first morning you need them. Baldwin Street, Winchester Road, and Thickson Road North are predictable: the temperature drops, the rain turns, and every shop in Durham is full. A booked changeover beats a cancelled commute.
Those north roads are also where a worn winter tire from last year gets exposed. If the set in the garage looks shallow or the sidewalls are cracked, bring them in anyway. We will tell you before they go back on the car.
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.
