Tire mounting and alignment in or around Langley?

Anyone have any hook-ups? I have some tires on order and going to need a place to mount, balance, and maybe alignment if the price is right within the next week.

I was gonna recommend dales too but I'm surprised they don't mount low profile tires... less than 50 is quite common too

I had tires work done at OK tires a few years ago and had no problems with them

I was surprised too. I sent them an email asking for a quote for mount, balance, and an alignment and all I got back was "We don't do tires lower then 50 series, recommend kal tire".

Don't use Kal tire, most of them don't have a proper mounting machine and it leaves a perfect circular scratch on the faxes of rims, have had it happen to 4 sets before I learned my lesson.

head over to tireland on the corner of 200th and industrial. they have one of the best alignment machines in the lower mainland. you will have to book an alignment in, but you can have tire work done on a drop in basis. they do a lot of race stuff there, a cobalt is no issue for them.

The issue was the tires. Most places I called were not so sure that they could do a 40 series tire. Anyways they are done and all good.

tireland did my 205/40r17s i had on my old cavy, didnt have any issues. some shops might say they cant do it because so many people call around looking to put narrow low profile tires on wide wheels for the stretched tire look (think drift/jdm stuff), and that can be tough to get the bead to seat.
