About General Tire Tires

Since its founding in 1915, General Tire has become an essential brand in the tire industry. Today, it is recognized for its wide range of innovative and high-quality products tailored to the diverse needs of Canadian motorists.

The history of General Tire dates back to 1915 when William F. O'Neil and Winfred E. Fouse decided to create their own tire company in Akron, Ohio, USA. Their ambition was to manufacture top-quality tires using innovative technologies and cutting-edge materials. Their first major innovation was the "General Jumbo" tire, which revolutionized the industry with its increased width and improved load-carrying capacity.

Over the years, General Tire continued to grow and innovate in the field of tires. During the 1940s and 1950s, the brand invested in research and development, leading to the creation of radial tires and tires specifically designed for off-road vehicles.

In 1987, General Tire was acquired by Continental, a globally renowned German tire manufacturer. This acquisition allowed General Tire to access new resources and technologies, thus strengthening its position in the market.

General Tire has since been recognized for its commitment to innovation and quality. Over the years, the brand has developed several proprietary technologies, such as:

  • DuraGen technology: a robust rubber compound that ensures a long lifespan and excellent resistance to cuts and punctures.
  • Comfort Balance technology: a tread design that reduces vibrations and noise for increased driving comfort.
  • StabiliTread technology: a tread design that optimizes the contact surface with the road, improving traction and stability.

At PMCtire.com, we are proud to be among the few privileged distributors of this brand in Canada, offering top-quality tires at often very competitive prices.
