Hello from Discount Tire!!!

[Calvin H-C]

Do you have any locations in or near Toronto? I see a number of tire shops in the area with 'discount' in their name, but I don't believe they are affiliated with you.

We're hoping to get a deal through the dealer on a set of EV-rated winter tires for the F-150 we've ordered, but our 2017 Ford Focus Electric will be in need of a new set and are shopping around now. If we end up going elsewhere for the F-150, we'll probably go with who we bought the FFE winters from.

The winters we currently have now are not EV-rated and we see a drop of range of about 15-20% when we switch in the fall. I expect that the softer rubber used in winter tires would contribute to some loss of range, but not this much.

The increase in noise compared to our EV-rated all season tires is huge. Also, non-EV tires wear faster on an EV, and the winters on our FFE in the middle of their sixth winter is more than our ICE Focus had after seven winters.

Thank you for considering Discount Tire, Calvin! We do not have locations outside of the United States, unfortunately.

Though we would love to earn your business from our end, you may want to consider our sister company, Tire Rack, as they offer shipping to Canada.

Am I correct in assuming that your location in Lawrence, KS would not be able to install a leveling kit at the same time as wheels and tires?

Yes, that is correct. At this time our stores provide services exclusively around tire and wheel related services.

With that being said, our stores do have working relationships with suspension shops. Should you be in need of a recommendation, I would recommend reaching out to your local store to see who they can refer you to.
