Ziegler Tire and Supply

What Ziegler Tire and Supply does

Ziegler Tire and Supply Company is a privately held, family-owned regional tire dealer and automotive repair operator founded in 1919 in Canton, Ohio by brothers Oliver and Harold Ziegler, and now in its third generation of family ownership. The company operates 23 locations across Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Indiana, organized into retail service centers serving individual consumers and dedicated commercial locations serving fleet operators, with each site delivering tire sales and a comprehensive suite of auto repair services (brakes, alignments, diagnostics, transmission, EV/hybrid maintenance, state inspections, etc.) under one roof. Distribution is multi-channel: physical storefronts, a dedicated wholesale platform (Mightytire.tireweb.com via TireWeb), and authorized dealer relationships with major tire brands including Michelin, Bridgestone, Goodyear, and others.

The company's distinctive technical asset is operation of one of the largest MICHELIN retread plants in the United States, which underpins a commercial and fleet tire renewal business with cost advantages over single-location competitors. Service differentiation comes from proprietary equipment such as Hunter Roadforce balancing, Fluid Film corrosion protection, MCSN fleet service, and 24-hour commercial road service. The company is ASE- and TIA-certified, and integrates two customer financing options (Bridgestone Credit Card via CFNA and Koalafi lease-to-own) to broaden accessibility across credit tiers.

Revenue is generated through four streams: retail and wholesale tire sales across passenger, commercial, OTR, farm/ag, and lawn/garden categories; auto repair services (labor and parts); wholesale distribution to independent dealers and commercial buyers; and MICHELIN retread services. Pricing is quote-based per location with promotional rebates and bundled service offers, and revenue is not publicly disclosed given the private family-owned structure. Customer segments include individual retail drivers (primary), commercial fleet operators (primary), agricultural customers, and independent tire dealers.
