ON Good places for tire swap ? Hamilton area

Looking at swapping some tires around.

Taking them off the T2 rims and putting them on some Crown Vic meshies

Reasonable price preferably since most name brand places want quite a bit.

With all the tire swappin and so on..Princess Auto has a half assed DIY tire machine that you can purchase.
My buddy has one and has done literally about 1000 tires/wheels with his.
The setup needs a good reinforcement but it would due if you are constantly changing rubber out.

I actually went in and took a look. They have 2 different sizes 10inch -16 inch and 16inch -20 inch

Which is kind of funny because my DD has 17s but my vert has 15-16 depending on what I'm running.

So I would have to choose between which machine. If only they had one that covered 15-17 inch in one machine lol

Mountain Tire - great guys and very reasonable. I have dealt with them exclusively for the past 15 years I think.

They just moved to Concession St. Lots of parking.

I say no on the princess auto tire changer. Gave it to my buddy to use on steelies. Felt it was too rough on nice wheels and it was worth taking to a shop.
Yes, needs definitely to be bolted to the floor.
