Commercial Tire Services

What Commercial Tire Services does

Commercial Tire Services is a privately held tire distribution and service company founded in 1989 and headquartered in Melrose Park, Illinois. The company operates 8 retail and service locations across Illinois (Melrose Park, Glendale Heights, Aurora, South Elgin, Minooka, Park City) and Indiana (Hammond), supplemented by a fleet of 30+ mobile tire trucks that deliver 24/7 on-site tire replacement, repair, and emergency roadside service across the greater Chicago metropolitan area. It distributes major tire brands including Goodyear, Cooper, Pirelli, Michelin, Hankook, Toyo, Continental, Double Coin, Bridgestone, Firestone, and General across commercial truck, passenger/light truck, and industrial/forklift applications, and offers the Goodyear Retread program for cost-effective recap of commercial truck tires.

The company's product and service portfolio is organized around three retail tire categories (commercial truck tires, passenger/light truck tires, industrial/forklift tires) plus a layered set of value-added services: specialty wheel sales and installation, heavy-duty truck alignment and suspension repair (via a dedicated Truck Alignment Specialists facility in Melrose Park), commercial fleet maintenance programs, foam fill services, forklift sales and service, and round-the-clock emergency roadside response. A dedicated Industrial Tire Division serves warehouses and distribution centers, and the company holds MSHA certification enabling it to serve mining customers. Distribution runs through both fixed retail storefronts and direct field service via the mobile fleet, with quote-based pricing, phone-driven sales, and an online tire catalog with request-a-quote functionality supporting lead generation.

Revenue is generated through one-time tire sales, professional service fees (installation, repair, alignment, retreading), and recurring commercial fleet maintenance contracts. The customer base spans commercial fleet operators and trucking companies (primary), industrial and warehouse operations requiring forklift and material-handling tires (primary), individual consumer drivers (secondary), and transit and emergency services providers (secondary). The company is independently owned with no disclosed parent, institutional investors, subsidiaries, or public listing, and operates under the legal entity Commercial Tire Services, Inc., incorporated in Delaware.
