Interstate Tires & Rubber Company is a tyre manufacturing company that was established in 1972. It produces tyres for passenger cars, vans, and commercial vehicles. The Interstate brand quickly gained momentum and developed its own range of unique products. Thanks to an effective marketing strategy, Interstate’s sales growth has consistently outpaced that of the replacement tyre industry.
Interstate combines European technology and Asian production (Taiwan, Thailand, and China) to ensure high quality and a reliable supply. The brand has collaborated with global leaders to develop advanced technologies in tyre design and production. Interstate’s strategy is clear: it prioritises exclusivity by country, provides the best service, and works only with long-term customers. It supports its clients with a large selection of marketing and promotional materials.
In April 2018, the Interstate brand was acquired by TBC Corporation, one of the largest distributors of replacement tyres for automobiles in North America. For 62 years, TBC has been a forward-thinking tyre company, offering its customers top-tier brands and services through a multi-channel strategy.
Interstate Tires & Rubber Co continues to improve the quality of its existing product ranges and is working on new projects to ensure consistent quality. Testing machines play an increasingly important role in the tyre industry. Interstate’s endurance testing machine was designed to determine tyre lifespan. The testing procedures for this machine comply with DOT, SAE, and ECE standards. The integration of high-quality electronic components ensures precise test execution. The real-time test controller built into a flexible industrial PC provides a fully digital, user-friendly, menu-based control system.
