Yep.
Many Tire places sell used tires. If you're broke, it is a cheap (but poor quality) way to keep a load on the road.
If you're looking for the cheapest place to buy tires, there is none. "Tire Sale" is an oxymoron. There is no such thing. The only real break you'll ever get on tires is if a manufacturer offers a rebate. And even then I wonder.
I think it's a waste of time to drive all over bell's half acre looking for Tire deals. I'd call the dealer, your local Tire shop and maybe Costco. Don't spend more than 15 minutes and make your decision and be done with it.
No such thing as cheap tires?
I see some of you live under a rock.
Go to an independent tire shop such as tires23 or brampton tire world. You can get brand name top of the line tires such as Michelin for a couple hundred cheaper than dealer or canadian tire.

Last April I needed some high-end tires (run-flat etc.). Did a lot of research. Ended-up buying from Quebec from these guys: https://www.quattrotires.com
At first I thought I saved around $300 per set, fracturing-in delivery, taxes, installation etc.
But in September I got a nail in sidewall... And no road hazard protection from manufacturer 'cause the tires are out-of-province or some other crap.
Needed the car fixed ASAP, so ended-up paying the Green-Ross $300 and kissed my initial savings bye-bye. Go figure...
On the bright side now I have 1 tire out of 4 with a road hazard protection.

How cheap is cheap though? it depends on the budget. If you know your shit...then you will save tons of money...If you're going to bite on a promo...good luck...tire prices are overpriced as a whole...6 years ago...a set of 4 prices at $450 (lowest) is the going rate...if you go to indy shops...probably $300 lowest.
At this time of year the popular tire shops would be fully booked until December so might be best to check out one of the smaller shops.
Tires23 has always quoted me the best prices all in.
You had to order the tires before and then go in to have them put on though.
Simplytires has great service but prices aren't always the best compared to Tires23 and sometime Costco.
They are popular enough that they only offered discounts/specials on tire and rim packages this winter and they are still fully booked well into December.
Costco is great but you'll be out of luck for an appointment this year.
Some of the other tire shops in Brampton(tire world, Bramalea tires,) and Scarborough(joy city tires) do offer good prices.
You can get cheap Chinese brands and decent Japanese brands a little higher in price but still well below the prices of the two top brands Michelin and Bridgestone.
A cheap winter tire may very well be better than the best all season or summer tire in winter.
Having two sets of tires, one for winter, and one for summer will last you a long time.
Beware of shops like Canadiantire that may try to sell you older tires if you don't know how to read the manufacture dates on the sidewall, plus their quotes will not include, balancing, installation and taxes etc.

Yous guys is very punny.

Gonna need snows for my daughters SUV.
There is no such thing as cheap tires. ( paying less and getting more ) You get what you pay for, new or used. I plan ahead and buy stuff long before I need them. There are always tire sales in the fall. You could have bought reasonably good tires at CDN Tire for 25% off just a few weeks ago. Costco has some good deals on quality tires. There are long lines at tire places these days.
