I had 2 landscape trailer tires replaced. Robert took my order and said he'd call me when ready. Maybe 1.5hrs later I got the call and good to go for just over $200. Very pleased with today's service. Thank you!

Guest of ours in town for Christmas got a flat tire. I took the vehicle to VIP in Houlton the day after and Robert was able to work us in for a repair. Very professional staff, great customer service, reasonable price. Thank you VIP Houlton .

All-Season
All-Weather

Winter

All-Season

All-Season tires are versatile and suitable for warm and cool climates, but not recommended for extreme hot or cold weather conditions because of specific rubber components.

All-Weather

Like their name suggests, all-weather tires are versatile and can perform well in a variety of weather conditions and can be severe snow-rated.

All-Terrain

With bigger treads than traditional all-season tires, all-terrain tires allow for both on and off-roading capabilities.

Winter

Winter tires are manufactured to perform well in snow, ice, sleet and other cold weather conditions. Winter tires are typically soft, with an intricate grooved tread pattern — made for holding compacted snow and creating traction — and are severe snow-rated.
