Getting Tires in Huntsville, AL: New, Used and Towing (2026)

Huntsville's growth has pulled a lot of traffic onto Memorial Parkway and the roads feeding Redstone Arsenal, Cummings Research Park and the newer subdivisions off I-565. More cars and longer commutes mean more flats, more worn tires, and more drivers trying to figure out, usually in a parking lot with a dash warning light on, where to go next. The directory already lists dozens of tire shops, used tire dealers, a wheel and rim specialist, and a towing company around the city, so this guide walks through what's actually on file for each type of service, what the listings themselves say about hours and specialties, and how to use that information to pick a shop.

The city sits at the intersection of two different kinds of tire demand. Daily commuters on Memorial Parkway and University Drive mostly need routine replacement and the occasional flat fixed fast, which favors shops close to those corridors. Drivers out toward Redstone Arsenal, the airport industrial park, or the rural edges of Madison County are more likely to be running trucks and trailers, which is where a shop that explicitly lists truck tire service earns its keep. Keeping both groups in mind makes it easier to pick a shop that actually matches the vehicle, not just the closest pin on a map.

How to Read These Listings

Every business on this site carries a primary category — Tire Shops, Used Tire Shops, Towing Services, and so on — plus, where Google Maps records it, a set of extra categories that describe what else the location does. A shop filed under Tire Shops with "brake shop" and "oil change service" as extra categories is telling you it's set up as a general automotive stop, not a tire specialist that happens to also sell oil. That distinction matters when you're trying to decide whether one stop can cover an inspection, an oil change, and new tires in the same visit, versus needing two separate appointments. The listings below are grouped by primary category, with the extra categories called out so you can judge that for yourself before calling.

New Tires: National Chains and Independents

Huntsville has both the national tire chains and a run of independent shops, and the directory's Tire Shops category for Huntsville, AL lists 17 of them. The split matters more than it might seem: a chain location usually runs on a corporate price list and a published website with store hours, while an independent is more likely to negotiate or carry odd sizes that a big-box store has to special-order.

Mavis Tires & Brakes on Memorial Parkway SW is the highest-reviewed of the chain locations in the city, with a 4.8 rating across more than 2,100 reviews. Its listing shows extra categories for auto repair, brakes, car inspection, and oil changes, so it's set up as a one-stop stop rather than tires only.

On the independent side, Rocket City Tires stands out for its review profile: a perfect 5.0 rating, and a listing that carries extra categories for tire repair, used tires, window tinting, car detailing, and vehicle wrapping. That combination suggests a shop that does more than mount and balance — useful to know if you're trying to consolidate errands.

Bush Tire Company, on Memorial Parkway NW, is another long-standing independent. Its listing adds brake, oil change, transmission, and wheel alignment service to its tire-shop base category, and its hours run from early morning on weekdays. Performance Tire LLC, over on University Drive NW, rounds out the group with a 4.6 rating from more than 100 reviews and a dedicated website.

Used Tires: A Larger Share of the Market Here

Huntsville's directory entry for Used Tire Shops carries 6 listings, and two of them have review counts that rival or exceed the new-tire shops above. Golden Used And New Tire, on Jordan Lane NW, has a 5.0 rating across 372 reviews, with brake, oil change, and wheel alignment listed as extra services — again, more of a general shop that happens to specialize in used tires than a tire-only operation.

Used Tire World, on Governors Drive SW, has an even larger review count at 500, a 4.8 rating, and its own website. For drivers trying to stretch a budget on an older vehicle, a used tire shop with that volume of reviews is worth a look before paying for a full new set — though as always, a used tire's condition depends entirely on what's in stock that day, so checking the DOT date code and tread depth in person before buying is worth the extra two minutes.

A third option, Kelly's Truck Tire Services, is filed under the used-tire category but its name and extra category (tire shop) point to truck and larger-vehicle tires specifically — useful context if you're calling around for a pickup, van, or trailer rather than a sedan. At 135 reviews and a 4.7 rating, it has a smaller but still solid track record.

Wheels, Rims and Repair

The city's listing for Tire Repair Shops currently shows one dedicated entry, Tire Max on Jordan Lane NW, with a 3.9 rating from 291 reviews — a reminder that a high review count doesn't always mean a high average rating, and it's worth reading a handful of recent reviews rather than relying on the number alone. Many of the general tire shops above also handle flat repair as part of their day-to-day work, even when "repair" isn't their primary category.

For wheels specifically, RimTyme Custom Wheels and Tires on US-72 West is the directory's dedicated Wheel & Rim Shops listing for Huntsville. Its extra categories include tire service, truck accessories, and used tire shop, and it has its own site with a Huntsville-specific page, which is a good sign for a specialty retailer — it means the location is actively maintained rather than a leftover franchise listing.

When a Flat Happens on the Road

A flat tire on Memorial Parkway at rush hour, or anywhere without a safe shoulder, is a towing call before it's a tire-shop call. Chandler Towing & Roadside Assistance, listed under Towing Services for the city, shows "Open 24 hours" on its listing and an extra category for locksmith work — relevant if a flat coincides with a lockout, which happens more often than you'd think when a spare and jack are buried under cargo. It has a 4.6 rating from 268 reviews and its own website with a phone number.

Keeping a tow company's number saved, alongside a tire shop's, is cheap insurance: a shop can't help a car that's still stuck on the shoulder, and a tow truck can get you to whichever shop above is actually open and has your size in stock.

Comparing What Each Listing Offers

What This Means for Picking a Shop

Rating and review count tell you how a shop has performed over time, not what it will charge or whether it has your exact tire size today — for that, a phone call still beats guessing. But the pattern in Huntsville's listings is useful on its own: most of the highest-rated shops, new or used, also carry brakes, oil changes, or alignment work, which means a single stop can usually cover more than just the tire. If you're shopping on a budget, the used-tire shops here have review volumes that match or beat several of the new-tire chains, which is a reasonable signal that they're not a last resort. And if something goes wrong away from a shop entirely, Chandler Towing's 24-hour listing is the one to have saved before you need it, not after.

It's also worth noticing where the directory's Huntsville listings are thin. There's no dedicated commercial or truck-tire category entry for the city yet, and only one listing each for tire repair and wheel alignment as primary categories — which doesn't mean those services aren't available, only that most shops here fold them into a broader tire or auto-repair listing rather than running as a standalone specialist. If you're specifically chasing a wheel alignment and don't see a long list of dedicated alignment shops, that's why: check the extra categories on the tire shops above first, since several of them already offer it.

For anyone relocating to Huntsville or just new to the area, a reasonable approach is to pick one general shop near home or work for routine tires, oil changes, and brakes, and keep one used-tire shop's number on hand for a cheaper stopgap tire on an older car. That's roughly how the review patterns above sort themselves out already, with a handful of shops doing double duty as the neighborhood's default stop.

Checking Current Rates

None of the listings in the directory publish fixed prices, and tire, repair and alignment pricing changes with tire size, brand, and what's actually wrong with the vehicle — so the only reliable way to get a number is to call the shop directly or check its website if it has one. Treat the ratings and categories above as a shortlist to call from, not a final price comparison.

A Concrete Next Step

Start with two calls: one to a general tire shop near your route (Mavis, Bush Tire, or Performance Tire if you're near University Drive) to check pricing and sizes, and one to Rocket City Tires or Golden Used And New Tire if you want to compare against a used-tire or repair-focused shop. Save Chandler Towing's number in your phone either way — it's the one call you don't want to be searching for at the side of the road.
