Discount Tire Co.
 PROFILE
Concerned about that upcoming "re-tire-ment"? Discount Tire Co., one of the largest independent tire dealers in the US, can provide several options. With about 420 stores in more than 15 states, the company sells leading brands (Michelin, Goodyear, Uniroyal) and private-label tires, as well as wheels and suspension products. Discount Tire operates mostly in the Midwest and Southwest and fixes flat tires for free, regardless of where they were bought. Some of the company's West Coast stores operate as America's Tire Co. because of a name conflict. Discount Tire also sells tires online through Discount Tire Direct. Owner Bruce Halle founded the company in 1960 with six tires -- four of them recaps.
