We want to be your tire guy at Tire Town. Tire Town was formed in 1968 in the heart of Myrtle Beach, SC in a former Chrysler dealership. That location at 306 N. Kings Hwy was the first place that many (now loyal) customers would experience Tire Town's quality products and services. At the center of it all was Lanier Alford; (or simply "Lanier" as everyone knows him by) greeting every customer as they walked inside. After a successfully running Firestone company stores all over the Southeast; Lanier came back to his native Horry County and built Tire Town.

Over the next 20 years he opened two other tire stores in the area and expanded into servicing commercial needs by adding a fleet of on-­the-­road service trucks. Wholesaling to other tire dealers in the area was a natural progression that was added in 2008. Today all retail locations operate under the Tire Town brand and use state-­of-­the-art software to store, share, and access all customer information daily. Innovative techniques for stocking and forecasting inventory helps Tire Town keep what customers need in stock. Thus ensuring that the principles started back in 1968 of the best product and efficient, quality service are still holding true today and for years to come.
