Tire Kingdom, Inc.

Tire Kingdom, Inc. began in 1972 with $150 and 50 consignment tires in a 200 square foot stall at the West Palm Beach Farmer's Market. While operating as a cash and carry business, customers explained that they preferred to have their tires installed where they purchased them. With $500 in borrowed money, tire-changing equipment was purchased, and Tire Kingdom was born. Business increased rapidly and soon outgrew Farmer's Market. Over the next several years, Tire Kingdom stores opened in West Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota. By 1988, Tire Kingdom expanded into all major south Florida markets. Tire Kingdom's expansion continued throughout south and central Florida as well as into North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Ohio. In June, 2000, Memphis-based TBC Corporation purchased the company. TBC Corporation is one of the nation's largest marketers and distributors of tires for the automotive replacement market. TBC has continued to expand Tire Kingdom with additional locations in markets it currently serves as well as to extend its geographic coverage.

Tire Kingdom sells quality name brand tires such as Michelin, Goodyear, General, BFGoodrich, Sigma, Toyo, Pirelli, Uniroyal, Yokohama, and more. Tire Kingdom's retail centers provide full-service tire replacement including tire balancing, wheel alignment, extended service programs and warranties. The centers also offer under-car / under-hood maintenance services including brake repairs, suspension system replacement, drive line repair, air conditioning service, cooling service, transmission service, fuel system service and oil change service.
