Founded in 1894, Kelly Tire stands as the oldest American-made tire brand, originating in Springfield, Ohio, as a producer of solid-rubber carriage and buggy tires. In 1935, Goodyear acquired Kelly Tire, prompting the company’s relocation to Akron, Ohio. Operating as a subsidiary of Goodyear, Kelly Tire has amassed over 115 years of experience in the tire industry.
In 2010, the company transitioned from limited distribution to nationwide sales, making Kelly tires widely accessible across the United States. Every Kelly tire purchase includes the Kelly Tire 30-Day Test Drive guarantee. This assurance allows customers the flexibility to exchange a newly purchased set of Kelly tires within 30 days if they decide against the initial choice.
