The Big O Tires story begins back in 1962. The market for replacement tires was exploding, and independent tire dealers found themselves struggling to compete with major tire manufacturers' own company stores. Luckily, Big O's founding fathers, a handful of progressive independent tire dealers with a common belief that service matters, came together to form a tire-buying cooperative. In the following years, Big O Tires evolved into a full-fledged franchise as it continued to find innovative ways to benefit independent dealerships and their customers. And thus, The Team You Trust® was born.
Then in 1996, Big O Tires joined forces with TBC Corporation, one of North America’s largest marketers of automotive replacement tires. Now, with over 450 locations in 25 states, we can provide a service you can trust for more people than ever before. And the legend is still growing!
Our business model has been, and always will be, simple: earn customers’ trust by selling great products and always standing behind them. That’s why we back every tire and service with:
- One of the most comprehensive and affordable warranty protections available
- Our 12-month/12,000-mile Nationwide Limited Repair Warranty, honored at our 1,200 Service Central locations and 35,000 participating facilities
- 24/7 Roadside Assistance when you purchase Big O brand tires or our Tire Protection Package
But we don’t stop there. Our Multi-Point inspection comes standard when it’s anything but. Free of charge. Why? Because it’s the right thing to do. Because we believe you should take your vehicle to a place you can trust. That’s what makes us The Team You Trust.
