INDEPENDENT TIRE DEALERS EXPANDED THEIR MARKET SHARE DURING 2020

Independent tire dealers remain the dominant
force when it comes to replacement consumer
tire sales in the U.S. and even gained ground
during 2020 as pent-up demand broke loose
during the second half of the year.
According to MTD’s 2021 Facts Issue, inde-
pendent dealers account for 65.5% of the U.S.
consumer tire replacement market at the retail
level. That’s an increase of 2.5% from 2019 lev-
els. (In 2018, MTD estimated that independent
dealers enjoyed 62.5% share.)
Mass merchandisers lost share during 2020,
driven in large part by the temporary, COVID-
19-related shutdown of Walmart Auto Care
Centers, followed by a slower-than-anticipated
reopening of those outlets. At the end of 2020,
it was estimated that mass merchandisers had
8% of the consumer tire replacement market —
down from 10.5% just one year prior. Warehouse
clubs also lost share during 2020, dropping from
8.5% to 8%.
Auto dealerships (9.5%) and tire manufacturer-
owned stores (6%) managed to maintain their
shares of the market at a flat level.
Here’s a snapshot of how many outlets non-
independent tire store chains operated at the
end of 2020, courtesy of MTD’s 2021 Facts Issue:
Mass merchandisers: Walmart Auto Care
Centers (2,582) and Sears Auto Care Centers (39)
Warehouse clubs: Sam’s Club (557), Costco
Wholesale Corp. (554) and BJ’s Warehouse
Club Inc. (219)
Tire manufacturer-owned retail stores: Bridge-
stone Retail Operations, which does business
as Firestone Complete Auto Care, Tires Plus and
Hibdon Tires and Wheel Works (2,200); Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Co., which includes Goodyear Auto
Service and Just Tires locations (557)
Retail auto parts chains: Pep Boys — Manny,
Moe & Jack (951)
The number of Sears Auto Centers locations
dropped from 199, which was the chain’s total
store count at the end of 2019.
