"Discount Tire and America's Tire are two unique names for one nationwide company. Discount Tire started in Michigan in 1960 and has since spread its wings from coast to coast with over 800 stores. However, in some regions, other companies already held the name 'Discount' in a similar context. In these regions, we go by the name America's Tire. This name embodies our truly national presence and reinforces our position as the most friendly, courteous and knowledgeable tire experts in the country.
Any purchase made at any Discount Tire or America's Tire store can be serviced at locations bearing either name."
While traveling, I decided that I was too far from home to trust my tires to get home safely. I had Discount Tires install six Michelin tires replacing the original Continentals. My choice for the tire store and brand of tires was because I am likely to be far from home if I have an issue with tires, I wanted a commonly available tire and a nationwide chain to rely on. At home, the store is America's Tire, I read in the local paper that some of the locations will be changing the name to Discount Tire and Internet inquiries will be redirected to the Discount Tire Website.
