Default Tire install

Hello, I am picking up some tires in this Postal code M4L 1V3 (north of the beaches?) and was wondering if anybody knows of a tire shop near there that would install my new tires and dispose of my old ones. I heard Bramalea Tire was good, but would like to be able to go closer to where I am picking them up. I will have the new tires in my coupe, hatch up and bugee corded (told that would work for a short distance). I could take my truck and pick them up and have them installed near home which is in Kingston but I would like to take the vette for a cruise because I have not driven it in a while (E-test issue) and would like to do the trip
Any recommendations? Will all 4 tires fit in my coupe?
Thanks.

Is it a C6 - if yes, then from experience I can tell you that the two rear tires will fit in the trunk with the hatch closed.
