With more than 1,200 stores in the United States, Discount Tire has grown to become the leading independent retailer of tires and wheels. The company was founded in 1960 when founder Bruce T. Halle rented a building on Stadium Boulevard in Ann Arbor, MI. Although the inventory consisted of only six tires and the showroom was not quite the showroom we see today, faith, vision and hard work were then, and still remain, the foundation on which this company has grown and prospered.
As with any new start up, Bruce Halle's venture faced numerous challenges - perhaps one of the biggest being that he didn't own an air compressor. Having only six tires and a portable air tank, Halle would race back and forth to a nearby gas station, filling the tires with air as he sold them. Day by day, tire by tire, this one-man operation slowly grew into what is now one of the most recognized names in the industry.
Discount Tire has a vision that not only lives but thrives in the hearts of its employees each and every day. From part-time to full-time employees at the store, regional or corporate level our employees work to be the best in the business.
One common thread running through the hearts of everyone within the organization remains the same - treat customers and fellow employees with respect and fairness. Care for those in need, always do what is right, work hard, be responsible and have fun.
The employees of Discount Tire represent our philosophy and its brand by remaining knowledgeable, friendly and honest. By offering the highest level of customer service, more product choices and the lowest prices, they have earned the right to be considered trusted experts.
Building customer relationships has allowed Discount Tire to become a leader in the industry. Our continual growth not only provides opportunities for employee advancement, but allows more customers to remain confident when choosing us for all of their tire and wheel needs.
Cycle Gear is the largest and fastest growing retailer of motorcycle parts and apparel in America.

Since then we have opened over 160 stores in 39 states and show no sign of slowing down.
We are committed to carefully selecting and selling only the world’s best brands on our website as well as in our growing number of store locations nationwide. Cycle Gear is proud to be the largest retailer of a growing number of brands in America. By combining the best products, great prices, and an incredible selection with our never-ending commitment to providing the best customer service on the planet, you can see why we've been growing full throttle for decades!
In addition to being an industry leading retailer, Cycle Gear is also on the forefront of developing the sport. We offer grassroots racer support and donate to many local and national motorcycle charities. In addition, Cycle Gear participates in thousands of different motorcycle events and races every year, while we host over 1,000 bike nights annually at our stores across the country. Plus, on the legal front, we’re proud members and donate to the AMA, Blue Ribbon Coalition, Motorcycle Industry Council and ORBA. Getting behind the organizations that fight for our rights to ride is something we all have to do!
Motorcycles are in our blood……it’s what we’re all about…..and it’s our life-long mission to “Fuel America’s Passion to Ride”.
Cycle Gear is proud to be a part of the Comoto Family of Brands, which also includes RevZilla, J&P Cycles, REVER, and Common Tread. Comoto is America’s largest and fastest growing omni-channel platform in the powersports aftermarket-products industry; dedicated to advancing the experience of moto enthusiasts across the globe.
MotoSport was founded by a guy named Bill who raced expert class in the super competitive AMA District 13 in the late 70s and early 80s. He surrounded himself with dirtbike enthusiasts and to this day, we still employ active racers and avid riders. Our passion extends from generation to generation and we want the same for you. We don’t call ourselves “The Guys That Ride” because it’s a catchy slogan. When you call for help or advice you’ll actually talk to someone who owns, rides and wrenches on a dirt bike, street bike or ATV. Our powersports enthusiasm instantly bonds us… maybe we’ll see you out riding one of these days. That’s the MotoSport difference.
Now in our second decade, MotoSport continues to lead the powersports industry in selection, quality and customer service. You won’t find more knowledgeable Gearheads or a more devoted customer base because those who rely on us for their parts and gear know that in the MotoSport world, loyalty is mutual. Our competitive pricing and wide selection of products means you can grab that impossible-to-find OEM bolt and popular brand favorite riding protection, and have it on your doorstep in days. We’re passionate about what we sell because what we sell is fun.
Our mission is clear: We exist to ensure powersports enthusiasts never miss a ride
That’s why we offer fast shipping and send most orders same day. If ride day is this weekend, the last thing we want is to hear how you sat by the mailbox waiting for that one part or necessary gear to arrive... only it didn’t. Call, email or chat with us. We’ll answer your questions and offer suggestions, but most of all we’ll get you riding.
