Company Overview

• For more than 70 years, TBC Corporation has been a leader in the mobility industry and one of North America’s largest marketers and distributors of automotive replacement tires through wholesale operations. Additionally, TBC responds to the needs of consumers in search of total car care at nearly 470 franchised tire and automotive service centers under the award-winning Big O Tires® brand. TBC is headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

With $5 billion in revenue and more than 3,000 employees in the U.S. and Mexico, TBC markets on a wholesale basis to regional tire chains and distributors serving independent tire dealers and with proprietary brands of tires specializing in passenger, commercial, farm and specialty tires.

In 2018, Michelin, the largest tire manufacturer in Europe, invested in the company which is now a 50:50, privately held joint venture between Sumitomo and Michelin.
