ounded in 1937
by A.B. York on 6th Street in Amarillo, Texas. York Tire
started out primarily selling used tires, tubes, retreads and providing flat
service. Accumulating thousands of used tires over the years
when World War II began, rubber became a hot commodity and A.B.'s
business really took off.
In 1952 A.B. moved his business to E. 27th Street where he operated his
tire and retread shop until 1963. Marshall and Tommy York,
his sons, purchased the business
and moved it to 10th & Fillmore. In 1971, Marshall
York acquired sole ownership and formed York Tire Co. Inc.
In 1982 Marshall expanded his operations, opening stores in Lubbock,
Texas and Clovis, New Mexico. In 1984 Marshall opened an
additional location in Hobbs, New Mexico.
Today York Tire Co. Inc is the largest supplier of farm tractor,
implement and irrigation tires in the South Plains area covering Texas,
New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado. Shipping farm tires all
over the United States, as far as Virginia, Montana and California.
We retread irrigation system tires as well as truck tires using
Oliver retread rubber and also handle a full line of truck, passenger and off
