About Us
SimpleTire gets people new tires for every vehicle at the best price, and with free shipping!
Customers get the best prices and free shipping on popular tires because of a unique low-cost, high-volume business model. Instead of buying and reselling tires like other retailers, SimpleTire uses data and technology to aggregate tire inventory, for every type of vehicle, from more than 500 suppliers across the country. These suppliers compete with each other on price, selection and delivery so that SimpleTire customers get the best deal.
The website makes the buying and installation process painless and simple.
The Founders
In 2010, Andy and Josh Chalofsky began a journey to improve the tire industry. They realized that people had been buying tires the same way for years – mostly going to local stores all over the country and buying the same tires – but at different prices! That’s when the idea hit them: Why not create a company that enables the consumer to buy all brands of tires anywhere in the country at the best possible price? While this concept was taking off elsewhere on the web, what set their process apart was the connections to both local suppliers and installers. Essentially, they modernized the decade’s old model for buying tires and made it “simple,” thus the name SimpleTire.
With just two employees and a phonebook, SimpleTire began building a vast network of thousands of distributors and installers. A partnership with e-commerce and technology expert Kenny Pratt brought rocket fuel to the growth. Within a few short years, SimpleTire evolved into an online destination requiring many employees to help manage its growing marketing, operational and technical needs. Today, SimpleTire operates out of its Pennsylvania headquarters, with satellite offices in Utah and India.
