Definition
This industry is part of the Wholesale Trade sector in the US. Operators within this industry wholesale a broad range of both new and used tires and tubes for automobiles, trucks, heavy machinery and motorcycles. In addition the industry also wholesales repair materials for tires and tubes. These goods are purchased from domestic (and in some cases international) manufacturers. Operators then wholesale these goods to retail tire centers, automotive repair workshops, automotive manufacturers, and large retail chains such as Wal Mart. It is important to note that those wholesalers who primarily operate over the Internet (i.e., have no physical location from which they wholesale tires) are excluded from this industry. NAICS definition: This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in wholesaling new and/or used tires and tubes for passenger and commercial vehicles.
