TravelCenters of America has expanded its commercial tire business by forming the TA Truck Service Commercial Tire Network.
The new service builds on TA’s traditional commercial tire offerings, adding brands, expanding tire service, and increasing tire availability. The TA Truck Service Commercial Tire Network was launched to help TA meet increased customer demand for a flexible and efficient source of commercial tires, the company says.

In addition to its retail and national account tire offering, TA has added brands such as Cooper Tire Roadmaster, Goodyear Marathon, and Kelly. The company expects to add other brands in the near future, including BF Goodrich, Pirelli and Formula by Pirelli.
TA will also expand the tire brands available through its RoadSquad emergency roadside service and OnSite mobile maintenance service. Many of the tires in TA’s lineup will also be available for pick-up by customers, delivery at customer locations, and through direct sales.
“We have significantly expanded the ways in which we may sell tires and the tires that we may sell to our customers,” said Tom O’Brien, president and CEO of TravelCenters. “We believe that the TA Truck Service Commercial Tire Network is the largest independent commercial tire dealer in the United States and that we have assembled a leadership and dedicated sales team to bring the combination of wide product choice, flexible delivery/install capability, and competitive pricing to our customers.”
