Best Tires, Tire Repair and Maintenance in Glace Bay, NS

All tires sold at The Tire Man have manufacturer warranty. This warranty is offered through tire manufacturers and varies depending on brand however in general this type of warranty covers against manufacture defects which are normally discovered during the installation process. For instance, if a customer were to have a problem such as one of the tires does not balance during the installation process, or it is determined by a mechanic that the tire is out of round, than the replacement of the tire is covered by the Tire Man. For a full replacement of the tire, manufacturers would require the customer to provide documentation from a licensed mechanic of the issue. The customer is required to return the defective tire to The Tire Man in order to get the new tire at no cost.

The Tire Man does not offer installations. We have a few recommended shops that we deal with locally for those customers picking up at our retail store, and we can provide customers with their contact information so they can coordinate an appointment for an installation. If a customer is looking to upsize/downsize their tire size, the team at The Tire Man can explain the dimension change and any affect to the vehicles speedometer however we will not make any fitment guarantees. It is recommended that a customer discuss with a licensed mechanic for fitment recommendations if ever varying from manufacturer stock sizes.

The Tire Man offers a 7 day exchange policy for any products that we keep in stock and have not been mounted on rims. The Tire Man does not offer refunds, however a customer can opt for a credit on file for 30 days, which is also transferrable, if they are returning a product and another option is not available in stock at that time. For products that are special ordered in for a customer direct from vendors, such as rims or tires that we do not keep in stock, there is a 20% restocking fee. For products that have shipped to a customer, the customer can either make arrangements to have the product returned to The Tire Man, or The Tire Man will credit back the portion paid, minus applicable shipping costs associated with the original order.

Deposits are non-refundable. If a deposit is left by a customer, The Tire Man team guarantees the stock this customer is asking to be reserved for them will be available for them. There is no exception to this rule, whether a deposit was left 2 days ago, or 4 weeks ago. We have promised to reserve inventory for the customer and therefore have not sold the inventory to other customers who may want the product, and for this reason the deposit will not be refunded to a customer who has changed their mind on a product. The minimum deposit required to reserve a set of four tires is $50, and less than four tires is $25. We allow inventory to be reserved under a deposit for up to 30 days, after which time if the customer has not contacted us to purchase the product out right, the inventory is no longer held for them.

Most tire sizes begin with a "P" in front of the size, which stands for Passenger Rated. This is a standard rating for most passenger cars, SUVs and vans. Truck tire sizes can start with a P (Passenger rated) or LT (Light Truck rated). The LT rating can range from load range C, D or E. The additional plies on LT rated tires are designed to reinforce the sidewalls to prevent blow outs when driving with additional weighted loads or towing additional weight, driving on gravel/dirt roads where things such as rocks and debris may potentially puncture the rubber, as well as constructions sites where nails and other sharp objects may be present. It is always recommended that anyone driving in an off-road environment or doing heavy hauling/towing with their truck go with an LT tire.
