Family owned and operated tire retailer is opening its three new stores in the southern markets.

CINCINNATI, OH (November 27, 2017) Tire Discounters, a “different kind of tire store” is continuing to grow in the south.  The family-owned and operated business is excited to expand its unique approach to tires and automotive services in the Huntsville, AL and Chattanooga, TN markets. 

Known as the “home of free alignment”, Tire Discounters includes a free four-wheel alignment with every standard 4-tire installation.  Lifetime rotation and balancing are also included, so customers’ tires will last longer and their vehicles will operate safer and with greater fuel efficiency.  And if you happen to roll into an unexpected construction site and get stuck with a nail in the tread, Tire Discounters will fix the tire for free.  It’s all part of Tire Discounters standard installation package.  “We take pride in offering the best value to every customer” said Crissy Niese, SVP and chief customer officer.  

These new stores have hired over 25 local folks and just opened this November in advance of the wet winter season.  The stores are located at:

  • 1503 Gunbarrel Road, Chattanooga, TN 37421
  • 4593 Wall Triana Highway, Madison, AL 35758
  • 8873 Highway 72, Huntsville, AL 35758

In addition to tires, Tire Discounters offers a wide variety of automotive services and can perform all your vehicle’s factory scheduled maintenance.  “Our name doesn’t really say it all, it just says it mostly,” said Abbey Dryden, vice president for marketing and talent acquisition.
