Purcell Tire & Rubber Co. continues to expand. The Potosi, Mo.-based dealership recently acquired Tri-State Tire in American Fork, Utah.

Tire dealerships continue to buy other tire dealerships. And more commercial tire operations are getting in on the action. M&A expert Michael McGregor explains why in this episode of The Modern Tire Dealer Show.

Michelin North America Inc. will raise its passenger and light truck tire prices between 5% and 12% and its on- and off-road commercial tire prices up to 12%, effective June 1.

The Cooper Pro Series Long Haul Steer tire has been enhanced for extra toughness and to minimize irregular wear and damage by curbing.

New from Infinite Concepts Manufacturing, the ARLIE (Advanced Rim Lug Internal Exterior) tool helps commercial tire technicians clean wheel stubs and hubs more effectively.

Jinyu Tire Group's radial truck and bus tire manufacturing plant in Vietnam has shipped its first container of tires to the United States.

As commercial tire dealers look to enhance their business values into the same stratosphere as retail tire dealers, some are looking at integrating the more profitable elements of retail business into their commercial operations. From a customer retention and profit perspective, this makes perfect sense. 

Michelin North America Inc. will raise prices on its Michelin, BFGoodrich and Uniroyal brand passenger and light truck replacement tires sold in the United States and Canada up to 6% on July 1.

“There is a natural connection between priorities of the tire manufacturing industry and revitalizing infrastructure," says Anne Forristall Luke, president and CEO of the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association.
