Spring tire rebates are coming to an end this week for most manufacturers, but Michelin just announced an extension since Spring came a little late this year: rebates for Michelin, BFGoodrich, and Uniroyal are extended until June 12th.

If you're still looking for tires, double up on savings this week by shopping end-of-season sales before the rebates end! 😎

And this is why Toyota/Lexus enjoys the hightest resale value year after year (and at one point during pandemic years, newer models resold for higher than their purchase price🤯).

1.2 million km and still going. 🚗

Andy Campbell's 1985 Toyota Tercel in Nova Scotia recently crossed the 1.2 million kilometre milestone... and it’s still on the road today.

Stories like this are a testament to what Toyota vehicles are known for: durability, reliability, and a whole lot of kilometres when they’re cared for properly.

Just another reminder that regular maintenance and a well-built vehicle can take you a very long way. 👏

FACTS: 👉Every 5 pounds per square inch (psi) of tire pressure you lose can translate into a 2% loss of gas mileage.
👉A tire pressure survey conducted by Canada Tire Manufacturer's Association showed that only 9% of vehicles had all 4 tires properly inflated.

✅Check your tire pressures at least once a month (and especially after hitting a bad pothole!)

✅Use a reliable tire pressure gauge

✅Always follow your manufacturer's recommended tire pressure (found inside the driver's side door)

✅If your tire pressure warning light comes on, don’t ignore it. Ignoring it doesn’t just put a dent in your wallet, it can compromise the safety and performance of your vehicle.

If you aren't sure how to check your tires or need help, give us a call! We're happy to check them for you and show you how.

DID YOU KNOW?

The word's largest tire manufacturer is starting to encorporate recycled fishing nets and ropes and recycled engine oil into their new tires! But it might not be who you think it is...

As of 2025, LEGO is transitioning to using more sustainable materials in their tire production. LEGO manufactures more than 870,000 tiny tires every day, or over 300 million per year, surpassing brands like Michelin/Bridgestone by more than 50%. They produce over 65 different sizes and styles of tires, ranging from small motorcycle tires to large off-road wheels. Play on!
