Top Shops: Opportunities & Challenges in Today's Tire Industry

Published: Jan. 25, 2023, 1:20 p.m.

As we head into a new year, there\u2019s definitely some skepticism about what the tire industry\u2014and the economy as a whole\u2014has in store. I mean, we\u2019re still recovering from the pandemic, and this year is slated to be the first \u201cnormal year\u201d in a while. With that, though, comes both challenges and opportunities for independent tire dealers across North America. Yet, tire dealers tell us that one thing is for sure: the tire business will remain resilient.

To discuss the challenges and opportunities this business brings, we asked our 2022 Top Shop Winner and Finalists: What is one thing that scares you and one thing that excites you about the tire industry?
This is the second part of a three-part series of interviews with our 2022 Top Shops that we recorded last year during our Top Shop Event in Nashville, Tennessee last summer. Listen to what today\u2019s top tire dealers had to say about the state of the industry as you prepare for the year ahead.
