Business for American Tire Distributors Holdings starts where the rubber meets the road. The company, through its American Tire Distributors (ATD) unit, is one of the largest independent tire wholesalers in the US. Its offerings include flagship brands Bridgestone, Continental, Goodyear, Pirelli, and Michelin, as well as budget brands and private-label tires. Tires account for some 90% of sales. ATD also markets custom wheels and tire service equipment. Its roughly 80 distribution centers serve independent tire dealers, retail chains, and auto service centers in some 40 states. After filing to go public in 2010, the company was acquired by private equity firm TPG Capital later that year.
