British Columbia's winter tire rules do not apply on the island itself, Richmond barely sees snow, but they apply on every mountain highway a Richmond family drives to, from the Coquihalla to the Sea to Sky. That makes the October and April changeover a genuine rush here, and booking ahead in those two months saves an afternoon.
The shops sit where tires get stored: the industrial blocks of East Cambie and Bridgeport, along River Road and Shell Road, and around the Auto Mall in the southeast, with plaza outlets closer to the residential grids. Mounting, balancing, alignment, seasonal storage and puncture repair are standard. Listings note hours, neighbourhood and whether storage is offered.
No. 5 Road shop pairing tire sales and fitting with general auto repair and diagnostics. Weekday-only hours, but a useful single stop when a mystery noise and a set of worn tires need sorting at the same time.

Guides and roundups written for Richmond, with the businesses linked inline.
Nothing on Alexandra Road is a hidden gem. It is just in a strip mall with bad signage and no patio, which is why visitors never find it. Here is how I actually use Richmond's plazas and food courts, which specialists are worth the drive, and when not to bother.
The West Dyke Trail is about five and a half kilometres of flat gravel between Terra Nova Rural Park and Garry Point, and I ride it most mornings. Here is what is actually at the north end, which way to walk so the wind is on your side, and why winter is the better season for it.
I live four blocks off Moncton Street, so this is the Steveston I actually use: where to park before the Bayview lots fill, how to buy fish straight off the boats at the wharf, the honest answer to the Pajo's versus Dave's question, and why the history here is not decoration.
