It surprised me, particularly as I had not found them to be generous
before. In Calgary, I had always found the best deals at Kaltire but in
this case, they were more expensive.
These days I can't be bothered with storing winter tyres (on rims) so I
pay the dealership. Changing them is then combined with the Spring and
fall services. It makes life simpler.
