Shopping for new tires and rims used to mean driving from shop to shop, comparing prices on sticky notes and hoping you didn't overpay. Not anymore. At WPEG Customs, Winnipeg drivers can now buy tires and rims online — browse, compare and order the exact tire package your vehicle needs, all from your phone or laptop, with pickup or professional installation ready to go.
Whether you drive a daily commuter, a lifted truck, a performance car or a work van that needs to handle Manitoba winters without flinching, this guide breaks down every major tire type available through WPEG Customs so you can find the perfect fit — and understand exactly why it matters.
Why buy tires and rims online?
Buying online isn't just about convenience (though skipping the showroom small talk is nice). It's about selection, pricing transparency and speed. When you shop tires online with WPEG Customs, you get:
- Access to a wider inventory than any single physical shop could stock
- Real-time pricing with no hidden fees
- The ability to compare tire brands, sizes and specs side-by-side
- Rim and tire package deals bundled for savings
- Fast scheduling for professional installation once your order arrives
Now let's get into the tires themselves — because not all rubber is created equal.
All-season tires
The most popular category for a reason. All-season tires are built for year-round versatility, offering a balanced mix of dry traction, wet grip and moderate cold-weather performance. If you're not doing extreme off-roading or driving through blizzard conditions daily, all-season tires are the practical, budget-friendly choice for sedans, crossovers and daily drivers across Winnipeg.
Winter tires
Manitoba winters are no joke, and winter tires (also called snow tires) are engineered specifically for it. Using a softer rubber compound that stays flexible in freezing temperatures, plus deep, aggressive tread patterns, winter tires dramatically improve braking and handling on snow and ice. If safety is a priority from November through March, a dedicated winter tire set — paired with a second set of rims — is one of the smartest investments you can make.
Summer tires
Built for performance in warm weather, summer tires use a firmer compound and streamlined tread design to maximize grip, cornering response and braking on dry and wet pavement above freezing temperatures. They're a favourite among sports car and performance sedan owners who want every bit of handling precision the vehicle was engineered for.
Performance tires
For drivers who want sharper steering response, higher speed ratings and aggressive road grip, performance tires deliver. These are common upgrades for sport trims, coupes and modified vehicles where stock tires just don't keep up with the power under the hood.
All-terrain tires
All-terrain (A/T) tires are the go-to for truck and SUV owners who split their time between pavement and gravel, farm roads or light trails. They offer a rugged tread pattern for off-road traction while still maintaining a relatively smooth, quiet ride on the highway — the best of both worlds for Manitoba's mixed driving conditions.
Mud-terrain tires
When the terrain gets serious, mud-terrain (M/T) tires take over. With deep, aggressive lugs and reinforced sidewalls, these tires are designed for maximum traction in mud, rocks and rough backcountry trails. They're a favourite for lifted trucks and off-road builds where looks and capability go hand in hand.
Touring tires
Touring tires prioritize a smooth, quiet, comfortable ride combined with long tread life — ideal for highway commuters and family vehicles that log a lot of kilometres. If comfort and durability matter more than aggressive performance, touring tires hit the sweet spot.
Run-flat tires
Run-flat tires let you keep driving — typically up to 80 km at reduced speed — even after a puncture, thanks to reinforced sidewalls that support the vehicle's weight without air pressure. They're a great safety net for drivers who don't want to be stranded roadside changing a flat.
Truck & commercial tires
Work trucks and vans need tires built to handle heavier loads and constant use. Light truck (LT) and commercial-rated tires offer higher load capacities, reinforced construction and extended durability for fleets, contractors and anyone hauling gear day in and day out.
Low-profile & performance rim packages
Tires are only half the equation. WPEG Customs also offers a full range of rims and wheel packages — from sleek low-profile setups that enhance a car's stance, to rugged off-road rims built to take a hit on the trail. Popular options include:
- Alloy rims for lightweight performance and style
- Chrome and blacked-out finishes for custom aesthetics
- Off-road beadlock-style rims for serious trail use
- Winter-specific steel rims for a dedicated snow tire setup
Pairing the right rim with the right tire isn't just about looks — it affects ride quality, fuel efficiency and handling. If you want a completely custom finish, our wheel powder coating service can colour-match your rims to your build.
Rim & tire packages: the smart way to buy
Buying tires and rims as a bundled package is almost always more cost-effective than purchasing separately, and it ensures your fitment, load rating and speed rating are properly matched. WPEG Customs makes it easy to select a complete rim and tire package online, tailored to your vehicle's make, model and driving needs — whether that's a daily commuter, a lifted 4×4 or a performance build.
Buy online, drive confident
From all-season commuters to aggressive mud-terrain setups, WPEG Customs carries the tire and rim inventory Winnipeg drivers actually need — not just what's easiest to stock. Browse the full selection online, compare your options and get matched with the right tires for your vehicle and your driving style.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I really buy tires and rims online in Winnipeg?
Yes. WPEG Customs lets Winnipeg drivers browse, compare and order tires and rims online, then schedule pickup or professional installation at our Pacific Ave shop — no showroom haggling required.
Are all-season tires enough for a Winnipeg winter?
For most Manitoba drivers, no. All-season tires harden below +7 °C and lose significant grip. A dedicated set of winter tires on a second rim set is the safest and most cost-effective setup for Winnipeg from November through March.
Is it cheaper to buy tires and rims as a package?
Almost always. Bundling a rim and tire package ensures correct fitment, load rating and speed rating, and typically costs less than buying rims and tires separately — plus you save on mount-and-balance labour.
What size tire and rim should I order for my vehicle?
Send us your year, make, model, trim and driving style through our free quote form. We'll confirm OEM fitment, plus-size options, load and speed ratings, and any lift or fender considerations before you order.
Do you install tires and rims bought online at WPEG Customs?
Yes. We mount, balance, torque and TPMS-reset every tire and rim package sold through WPEG Customs, and can install wheels and tires you've purchased elsewhere as well.
Do you carry run-flat and light-truck (LT) commercial tires?
Yes. Our online inventory includes run-flat tires for supported vehicles and LT / commercial-rated tires for work trucks, vans and fleet applications across Winnipeg and Manitoba.
