Default Proud New AO Sponsor!!

Hi Everyone!

After years of being a forum member and participating in the forums and offering whatever help I could with tire and wheel information, I have finally decided to go officially legitimate and become a paid Alberta Outdoorsmen sponsor!

My company Urban Expressions Wheel & Tire Inc is a small, specialized tire and custom wheel store located in Calgary at Bay #6, 1303 44th ave NE. We have been serving the Calgary area for 11 years now and have worked hard establishing ourselves as one of the most trusted and knowledgeable businesses in the city. I have had the pleasure of dealing with quite a few forum members over the years and I like to think that everyone has been pleased and that we will continue to do so for many more years to come!

In honour of my new sponsorship, I was able to work with Goodyear and am pleased to be able to offer a 2 week sale on the entire Goodyear, Kelly and Dunlop tire lines for passenger and light truck applications. The details are available in the Urban Expressions page located in the sponsor section. Please follow the link below and check it out, and keep and eye on it throughout the year for any different specials as they come available!

Regards,
Bob Blakeborough

Good for you. Hope this works out real well for you. Hard to find honest knowledgeable people in the auto industry so this gives us one more home grown one to deal with that is easily accessible..

Good to know Bob, especially when I've got 3 different vehicles all coming due for tires in the next year or so.

Congrats on becoming a sponsor and here's hoping a business increase for both you and AO!

Bob helped me out with a set of General Grabber LT winter tires for my service van, they sure were just what the Dr ordered for the doozy of a winter that we just experienced! His pricing was awesome and by booking my appointment things went really smooth and timely.

Bob, a man who knows tires and whisky! That's a double threat to respect!

Good job on being a sponsor. GP is a long way from Calgary, but I get down on occasion. Might have to see you about a set of Pilot Sport Cup 2s for the Little Black Car. This is the last season I will get out of the current set....

I have to say, I just had the pleasure of dealing with Bob for a new set of treads for the Mrs. car. Not only did I receive a great deal but I got to meet a heck of a great guy. I can't say enough a great things about his shop and I'm glad to see him as a sponsor on the forum.
Bob, thanks again for all your help.

Hey thanks everyone! I will always do my best to make sure you all get solid information and service for fair pricing. I can't promise I am always the single most cheapest on every single thing, but I will absolutely work hard to give you as much value as possible for your hard earned money..

Best of luck with your business.

I plan on becoming a sponsor some day but for now it's out of my price range.

I'm not so interested in the advertising potential, I already advertise in the magazine, I'm more interested in doing what I can to keep this site available.
