 Mickey Thompson Performance Tires
designs, develops and distributes specialty tires for the street,
strip, track, and off-road. 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. Designing and producing innovative tread patterns and
compounds to build the best performance tires in the world was our
focus then, and is still our focus today.
Mickey Thompson Performance Tires is known worldwide as a leader
in high performance tires and wheels for use on the track and in
off-road racing. Our commitment and dedication to racing
 began
with Mickey Thompson and Gene McMannis. Mickey, an innovative race
car driver, designer, and promoter held 485 National and
International speed and endurance records. Gene McMannis' racing
accomplishments included designing and developing tires for the
Pan American Road Race, Daytona, LeMans, Indy 500, and Bonneville
Salt Flats. He holds various patents. The list of innovations from
Mickey Thompson Performance has grown along with the company.
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 and Wheels into an industry leader with a network of
thousands of dealers worldwide. |
