    Canadian Tire Sucks at Sales - Not Enough Stock - Bait & Switch?

    A common complaint across the country is that Canadian Tire stores advertise items at attractive sale prices, but those stores don't carry sufficient stock. People come for the sale items, but the can't get any. They might be tempted to just buy a similar item at a higher price. And while...

    Canadian Tire Sucks at Tires - Stock, Sales, Installation, Service, Warranties, Online, Etc.

    It's ironic that a familiar store with the word 'tire' right in its name would do so poorly at stocking, selling, installing, servicing and providing warranties for its name-sake product. Yet their gradual decline in the automotive field is well-known, despite their recent attempts to reverse...

    Crappy Tire's Financial State

    It's good to see some financial information that isn't distored by the Crappy Tire Defenders. It turns out that this "cash only" buy-out of Forzani wasn't really "cash only" after all. Crappy Tire's debt went up from $2.3 billion to $3.3 billion. There was assumed debt and transaction costs...

    Owners/Managers Seeking Information and Opinions From Customers

    Hi. There isn't a single "Q&A" thread, where the Crappy Tire people can post questions for consumers to answer. I keep seeing these kinds of questions scattered around this site, so I thought it would help if we had one place for them. For instance, "What are the top 20 retailers in Canada"...
