Tirecraft is a Canadian owned and operated network of tire and mechanical retailers.
Founded in Vernon, B.C. in 1968, the Tirecraft brand was purchased in 1990 by Remington Group, whose Town & Country Tire locations were re-branded to become Tirecraft Auto Centres.
Tirecraft has grown to over 300 independently owned locations across Canada, from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island.
History
editThe first Tirecraft was opened by brothers Jack and Alf Peters. The original store, named Peters Tirecraft, still operates in Vernon, British Columbia but has since changed its name to Trail Tire Auto Centers.

These locations specialize in tires for passenger and light truck vehicles, commercial trucks, off-road vehicles, retreading commercial and off-road tires, selling and servicing rims, auto parts, auto accessories and automotive services.
They are also one of the first tire retailers to offer nationwide commercial road side service in Canada with their Tire Service Network(TSN) program.[1]
