BestDrive, a subsidiary of Continental the Americas, has acquired the commercial tire dealer and retreader Hill Tire Company, marking its first acquisition since its 2010 formation.

“Hill Tire has built a strong reputation for quality service and people and this provides a solid foundation on which BestDrive will work to build,” said Clif Armstrong, managing director of BestDrive. “Our goal at BestDrive is to be the leading commercial tire and service provider delivering the lowest overall driving cost for our customers. The addition of Hill Tire helps BestDrive work toward this goal by providing the ability to meet the new tire and retread demands of our customers in the southeast.”

Hill Tire will still continue business as Hill Tire, but will have the same support and tools as BestDrive locations.

Hill Tire has more than 100 employees at five locations in Georgia and Alabama, with the capacity to produce more than 100,000 retreads per year. With the acquisition, BestDrive will add two retread locations as it expands its presence in the southeastern U.S.
