Driving I-20 or hauling freight up I-75, Atlanta truckers know one thing: few problems grind a day to a halt faster than worn-down rubber. Alexander Tire Company Distributors at 111 Selig Dr SW has been the go-to wholesale and retail tire headquarters for every size rig—from light-duty pickups to 18-wheelers—for more than 25 years. Family-owned by Mr. Alex, his son, and the legendary technician Woody, the shop blends old-school hospitality with an inventory that rivals national chains. Step inside the warehouse and you’ll spot wall-to-wall racks of major brands—Michelin, Bridgestone, Goodyear, Yokohama—stacked beside dependable budget options that keep owner-operators profitable.
Unlike quick-lube franchises where you’re just another ticket, Alexander Tire greets customers by name, walks you down the aisles to hand-pick tread patterns, then quotes a price that’s easy on the fuel card. Regulars rave about blazing turn-around: many semi-trucks roll out on fresh rubber in under 45 minutes—alignment checked, lug torque verified, and valve stems replaced.
Even better, the team’s strategic location near Fulton Industrial means you can swing in, grab a sausage biscuit at the food truck next door, and still make your dock time. For OTR haulers, church-bus drivers, and weekend boat-towers alike, this shop feels less like a tire stop and more like a pit-crew family that has your back mile after mile.
