Buy Tire in Halifax
Get Affordable, Good Quality Tires in Halifax. Feel Safe on the Road.
Your vehicle’s tires are its single most important safety feature. They are the only part of your car connecting you to the road, influencing everything from braking distance in an emergency to handling on a wet curve. The right tires make every drive safer and smoother - especially with Halifax’s mix of rain, snow, and coastal cold. All-season & Summer tires cover everyday driving, but when temperatures drop below about 7 °C, dedicated winter tires use softer compound rubber and aggressive tread patterns to keep their grip. Look for the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol to know they’re built for severe snow.
Choosing the right set means matching size, load index, and speed rating to your vehicle and to your driving situation (city, highway, towing). Our team helps you compare performance, longevity, and value across premium and budget-friendly options, then installs them the correct way - using precision mounting, balancing, and a proper wheel alignment to protect tread life, ride comfort, and fuel economy while reducing vibration and pull.
We stock a huge selection of high-quality tires, from leading summer, all-season, all-weather & dedicated winter models perfect for daily commutes to rugged all-terrain tires designed to grip in the toughest conditions.

FAQ's
The cost for a full set of four tires can vary significantly based on several key factors:
- Tire Size: Larger diameter tires for trucks and SUVs naturally cost more than smaller tires for compact cars. Put simply, 18” tires will always cost more than the equivalent 17” tire.
- Brand: Premium brands such as Michelin, known for cutting-edge technology and performance will always cost more than budget-friendly value focussed brands such as Centara, Haida or Suretrac.
- Tire Type: Specialized tires like high-performance summer tires or rugged all-terrain tires often have a higher price point than standard all-season tires. This is due to their specialized nature and associated higher cost of materials and production.
In Canada, winter/all-season tires commonly range between $80–$200 per tire for mid-range models, with many premium options being $200+ per tire. Installation & balancing is usually extra, as is a four-wheel alignment. It's best practice to replace all four tires at once to ensure stable handling and even wear on all tires. However, if you must replace only two, mount the new pair on the rear axle for stability in the wet.
At Dial A Tire, we offer a wide range of options and provide clear, upfront pricing. We can always find a safe, high-quality solution that fits your budget.
There isn’t a single “cheapest” - prices depend on factors such as size & tire type. While some brands are known for being very low-cost, we prefer to focus on providing the best value. The "cheapest" tire may not be the safest or most durable, potentially costing you more in the long run with a shorter lifespan.
We specialize in offering high-quality, budget-friendly brands like Centara, Joyroad, Haida, Suretrac, Sailun, Laufenn etc. - all of which provide excellent safety and performance without the premium price tag. Our goal is to equip your vehicle with the most reliable and affordable tire for your needs, ensuring you get great performance and peace of mind at a fair price.
Frankly speaking, there is no universal “Best”, as the best tire brand isn't a one-size-fits-all answer—it completely depends on your vehicle, your driving style, and your budget.
Independent tests show model-to-model results vary and top tires from different brands can be very close depending on category (all-season, winter, all-weather, all-terrain). The best brand for You might be a durable truck tire for job sites or a quiet all-season tire for highway commuting or an EV focussed tire that prioritizes low rolling resistance.
At Dial-A-Tire, our team provides Nova Scotia-road-tested advice to help you choose the ideal tire that matches your specific needs, ensuring you get the best possible performance for our local conditions.

Yes! Recommended from our side!
While it’s not always mandatory, a wheel alignment is highly recommended when you install new tires. Think of it as insurance for your investment.
A proper alignment ensures your new tires wear evenly, maximizing their lifespan and saving you money. It also ensures your vehicle will handle correctly and drive straight without pulling to one side. If the alignment is off, your new tires could start to wear unevenly from the very first kilometre.
We can inspect your alignment to see if it's needed, helping you protect your purchase.
