Continental Tire the Americas has chosen Charlotte for its 24th BestDrive commercial tire outlet. The new center recently opened near Charlotte Douglas International Airport, a location that “is ideal for access by its long-haul, regional-haul, and on/off-road fleet customers," according to Continental officials.

The 49,000-sq.-ft. facility is equipped to handle “all light mechanical and service needs, including alignments, industrial press tires, balancing, wheel reconditioning, and more,” the company said. 

It also will distribute the company’s ContiTread retreads made at the BestDrive Carolina retread plant.

“We are extremely excited to be in the Carolinas and look forward to providing exceptional service and on-time delivery to the growing fleet business in this expanding market,” said Tom O’Niel, managing director, BestDrive. 

“With the opening of this new store, we can bring Continental tires and innovation to our customers, which will be a game-changer for many,” stated Gentry Asher, who manages the Charlotte BestDrive location. 

Continental plans to expand its BestDrive operations in both North Carolina and South Carolina over the next several years.  

“We see this as a great growth opportunity in a region with a strong and growing economy,” noted Jeff Puckett, Continental’s director of retail for its Americas region.
