Chicago Winters, Potholes and NEW TIRES

Chicago winters, bald tires, massive potholes, and you can just imagine what product is moving out of stores. And it seems there is a tire store in every town. While some are part of chains, many are independent and advertise on their own. Tire Dealers are a great place to look for business when there's snow in the forecast and ice on the ground. Almost every tire dealer in Chicago carry quality brands that earns co-op dollars.
Michelin 3% Passenger Tires Up to 100%
Firestone Varies Passenger Tires Up to 100%
Bridgestone Varies Owns Firestone See program
Hankook Tires 3% Hankook Tires 75%/25%
Toyo Tires 4% Passenger Tires 70%/30%

Many many more: Check it out by searching for tires at www.adbuilder.com
