What We Do
In 1968, a 24-year-old named Bob Schwenkfelder started a tire store on State Street in Boise, Idaho. Over the next 50 years, the company he launched would become one of the largest commercial and retail operations in the Northwest: Commercial Tire. Driven by the simple motto of “let our family take care of your family,” we’ve always focused on working hard, meeting the wide-ranging needs of our customers, and employing people you can trust. This remains the Commercial Tire legacy. Especially now that we’re 100% employee owned.
