Cosmo Tires announced Mighty Tire Wholesale, a wholly-owned division of Ziegler Tire, as its newest distributor. This distribution expansion is part of Cosmo Tires’ strategic plan to expand its market access for consumers, the company said.

“With both organizations being family owned, it was a natural fit and we understand the complexities of the independent tire dealer,” John Zeigler, vice president of Mighty Tire Wholesale, said.

“We are excited to partner with the Mighty Tire family and look forward to bringing added value to their dealer network,” Tony Gozalez, CEO of Tire Group International, said. Cosmo Tires are renowned for their innovative technology, exceptional performance, and superior durability.”
