Who We Are
Discount Tire was founded in 1960 by Bruce T. Halle in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with a single store, an inventory of only six tires, and a promise to treat people right. Today, it is the nation’s largest independent tire and wheel retailer with over 1,200 stores across 40 states and over 31,000 employees.

We are a people-first, safety-first company. Our stores are clean and consistent, our training is hands-on, and our service is built on listening to our customers and doing the job the right way. Every store manager is promoted from within, and many grow into multi-store leadership. We are closed on Sundays so our teams can recharge and spend time with their families. We partner with major professional sports leagues and teams, and support the communities we serve. If you want to grow, lead, and make a difference every day for customers in your community, you will feel at home here.
