An Association is an organization of persons with a common interest. The Mid-America Tire Dealers Association was incorporated on July 30, 1990 with the independent tire dealers and their businesses in mind.

With new regulations on the rise, it is imperative that tire dealers express their concerns in an organized manner to be effective. A professional organization can develop a systematic network of communication that can protect, educate and inform its members of trade specific concerns. There are currently 185 members.

The goal of any viable trade association is to promote the image and progress of the industry that it represents. Members are the key to that effort.
