General Info

Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels designs, develops and distributes specialty tires for the street, strip, track and off-road markets. Since its founding in 1963, the company has championed many firsts in the tire industry, from wide low-profile street tires to rugged, aggressive-tread off-road tires. Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels is known worldwide as a leader in high-performance tires and wheels for use on the track and in off-road racing. The company's commitment and dedication to racing began with Mickey Thompson and Gene McMannis. Thompson, an innovative race car driver, designer, and promoter, held 485 national and international speed and endurance records. McMannis' racing accomplishments included designing and developing tires for the Pan American Road Race, Daytona, LeMans, Indy 500 and Bonneville Salt Flats. Cooper Tire & Rubber Company's purchase of Mickey Thompson Tires in 2003 has helped to continue the company passion for innovative product design and helped to grow Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels into an industry leader with a network of thousands of dealers worldwide.
