About Reach Tire & Auto
Twice a year most drivers in the valley have the same conversation about tires, and Reach Tire and Auto is set up for it at 3481 Sexsmith Road in Rutland. Rutland fills the northeast side of Kelowna with one of the city's largest residential areas and a busy town centre strip of its own, so a shop out here sees a great many daily driven vehicles rather than weekend ones.
Tire and service shops handle a broad slice of ordinary maintenance: mounting and balancing, seasonal changeovers and off season storage, punctures, alignments, brakes, suspension work and the inspections that go with all of it. Things worth raising on the phone at 778-721-8873 include whether they store a second set for you, how far out they are booking, whether a slow leak can be looked at the same day, and whether the vehicle has to be left or can be waited for. Have the tire size from the sidewall ready, since it saves the counter a guess.
Conditions here are not what the coast deals with. Winter in Kelowna is short and mostly grey rather than deeply snowy down on the flats, but the hillside districts above Rutland climb toward the ridge and the routes out of the valley in either direction are a different matter entirely, so a proper winter rated tire earns its cost for anyone commuting up to Black Mountain. Summer heat is the other half of it. Hot dry pavement is hard on rubber and on pressures, and a check before a long drive is cheap insurance.
