Our Commitment To You

Our commitment to you the customer is to offer the highest standard of Extra Care Services available in the automotive industry.

At Big O Tires, simply satisfying our customers is not good enough. We will always strive to exceed your expectations.


1935: A group of independent tire retailers in Nebraska invents an improved tire-repair machine, forming the nucleus of O.K. Rubber Welders. The group forges three powerful concepts that eventually become the cornerstone of Big O's philosophy--the product warranty, outdoor merchandising, and the power of exchanging ideas.

World War II: O.K. Rubber Welders boasts 600 dealers nationwide, building on their reputation for honesty, quality, service, and economy.

1953: O.K. Rubber Welders grows to become the largest tread rubber account in the nation, with 1,300+ dealers in the U.S., Canada, South America, Honduras, and Mexico.

1962: A group of independent thinkers splits from the original O.K. group to form a new company, Big O Tires.

1972: Company name becomes a blueprint for success: Better Image Greater Opportunity

1986: Big O goes public, trades on NASDAQ under the symbol 'BIGO'

1996: Big O is acquired by TBC, the nation's leading marketer/distributor of private brand tires.

2000: Big O encompasses over 500 dealer and company-owned stores in 20 Midwestern states and parts of Canada.
