**Tire Discounters** (Stylized as **TireDiscounters**) is a [tire](/source/Tire) and auto service shop started by Chip Wood in 1976 in [Cincinnati, Ohio](/source/Cincinnati%2C_Ohio). Today, it ranks as the eighth-largest independent tire dealer in the U.S. by Modern Tire Dealer National Rankings 2020.[2]

## History

Tire Discounters is Ohio-based, headquartered in Cincinnati. The company is owned and operated by the Wood family. In 2008, it entered the [Lexington](/source/Lexington%2C_Kentucky) market. In 2011, it opened a new headquarters in [Sharonville](/source/Sharonville%2C_Ohio), with a 200,000-square-foot warehouse. In the same year, it entered the [Louisville](/source/Louisville%2C_Kentucky) market, and in 2014, [Nashville](/source/Nashville). In 2015, the headquarters were moved to downtown Cincinnati, while maintaining warehouses in Sharonville and [LaVergne, Tennessee](/source/LaVergne%2C_Tennessee). In 2016, the company opened its 100th store and entered the Chattanooga market. As of November 2023[\[update\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tire_Discounters&action=edit), over 190 stores are located across Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia, and employ more than 2,000 people.[3][4][5][6] In most markets, Tire Discounters overlaps with the rival [Discount Tire](/source/Discount_Tire) chain; the two are not related despite the similar names.

## Tire Discounters signs

Chip Wood wrote the original signs for years. Now, a group of people writes the signs at the Cincinnati office and send them to the stores twice a week. They have been shared on [BuzzFeed](/source/BuzzFeed), [Reddit](/source/Reddit), and more.[7][8]

## Tallest tire stack

Record-breaking 2014 tire stack

In celebration of the reopening of its first store, Tire Discounters built a stack of [Falken Tires](/source/Falken_Tires) on March 27, 2014, that was 19.95 ft tall. The previous tire stacking world record of 19.77 was set on September 6, 2009, in Wiesental, Germany.[9][10]

## Wounded Warrior Project

Tire Discounters supports Wounded Warrior Project; during a week-long event, Tire Discounters Inc. locations in three states did not charge customers labor on tires or oil changes, and instead collected donations for the Wounded Warrior Project. The first-time event raised more than $20,631. Customers donated $9,140 that week, and Tire Discounters added a $1 donation for every social-media share, phone call, and appointment booked during the event. As of November 2023, Tire Discounters has raised over $600,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project. [11]
