With humble beginnings as a single location in Hapeville, GA, Carroll Tire Company is now one of the nation's largest distributors of private and major brand tires.

Founder Bobby Carroll entered the wholesale tire business with a mission: To bring competitive and consistent pricing to Georgia's network of small, independent tire dealers. As his reputation grew for supplying quality products with consistent availability and pricing, coupled with straight talk and exclusive marketing areas, the business began to grow. In 1972, Carroll Tire Company expanded into Jacksonville, FL, marking the beginning of Carroll's expansion explosion. Carroll's cornerstone supplier during this expansion was TBC Corporation, who offered cutting-edge products like its Multi-Mile and Cordovan private brands at competitive prices. Carroll Tire quickly became TBC's largest customer, and TBC was Carroll's largest vendor.

By the mid-90s, Carroll had expanded to 14 branches in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina, yet innovations in the tire market continued to demand change. Carroll responded in 1994 by implementing daily delivery at all branches to meet the needs of dealers.

In 1997, Bobby Carroll realized that if Carroll Tire was to become the top wholesale tire distributor in the United States, money and guidance would be needed. On November 18, 1998, Carroll Tire Company merged with TBC Corporation, becoming their wholesale tire distributor subsidiary.

Today, Carroll has more than 50 branches in the United States, and it remains committed to Bobby Carroll's founding goals: Sell a program, offer products at the most competitive prices and grow Carroll Tire Company and the independent tire dealer.
