Great to finally meet you Bob!

Did you get the complimentary bottle of 25 year old Highland Park with each new set of tires...? He told me I'd get one if I bought a set of Duratracs from him....

I didn't even get a six pack from him.
But I do have to admit the service at his shop is top notch!!

A+++
Every single person I know who has dealt with his shop - Urban Expressions Wheel & Tire Inc - has walked away a devotee. No one else comes close. Bob literally runs the Prophet River Firearms of wheel & tire shops in western Canada. They are that good. Heck, I know guys who live in northern Alberta and make a point of travelling to Calgary and using Bob. And, I was a customer before I became a friend who refers everyone I can. Only three business are in that class for me…
Prophet River Firearms
Urban Expressions Wheel & Tire Inc
Europa Canopy and Marine
Bob’s shop and service is that good.
Give him a try.

Will add to the shouting as well. Got a set of Cooper tires from Bob on my super duty a month or so ago. Have had time to drive on them and haul the truck camper around. These tires were Bob's recommendation and he is 100% bang on, love the tires. Service is top notch.

I happened to get some tires installed there yesterday. Didn’t get to meet Bob, unfortunately. Maybe next time. Nice folks, great service.

I was just in for a tire swap last week and had a brief visit. I'll be back in the fall to have my winter's mounted and will need new summer's for next season. Been using TireBob for about 2 years now and LOVE the winters he had me set up with. Always gives fair advice.

The key with the Highland Park bottle was it supposed to be full or empty?
I was there yesterday and I received the empty one....Hahaha
All kidding aside; in typical Bob fashion.....what a great guy, great staff and great service......
I put him right up there with Clay Smiley @ Prophet River, all day long...
Thanks Bob.....

Never thought of that, you are probably on to something. That sneaky bugger almost tricked me!

Should open a mobile tire repair/replacement and hit the road based on bookings.
Would have booked him on his north eastern swing, take him out on the lake too!

You should have a bottle delivered to TC if you drank his gift.

Just wanted to say Thanks to Tire Bob. He went over and above for me finding some rims for my old stock trailer. And tires for my flat deck.

I have bought two sets of tires from Bob. Great advice, great price, great service. If you are in the Calgary area, give Bob a try.

I was given brisket and beans, great company, a wonderful place to sleep, and the best ever sausage and gravy over biscuits for breakfast.
And great coffee too!
In short, the bloody royal treatment.
Not bad treatment for getting a good deal on tires
