Why Choose Tire Kingdom?

The Company 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.
In November 2005, Sumitomo Corporation of America (SCOA) acquired TBC Corporation
as a wholly owned subsidiary. SCOA is an investor and business partner in more than
40 subsidiary and affiliate companies.
Tire Kingdom is committed to continued growth and expansion and is dedicated to
becoming the leading tire and automotive services retailer in the nation.
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
