Tirecraft was founded in Vernon B.C. in 1968. Two brothers, Jack and Alf Peters opened a tire store. The original store, named Peters Tirecraft, still operates today in Vernon after 45 years in business. The store quickly grew into a large tire retail and wholesale supply center shipping tires throughout the province of B.C. Today the Tirecraft chain has over 200 locations across Canada located in every province except for the Yukon and Manitoba.〔http://www.castanet.net/news/John-Thomson/32862/Rumors-Things〕 It is a Canadian conglomerate of Independent Tire Dealers with locations nationwide.
