They Sell Rare And Hard-To-Find Tires
No matter what kind of vehicle or its age, M.E. Miller Tire likely has the right tire for it. That includes exact replicas for old tractor and equipment tires for restorers who are particular about getting the details right.
“Agriculture is about 65 percent of our business - including the antique market. We look for the niche markets no one else is taking care of and off-size tires,” says Ed Miller, who owns the Ohio business his father, Mahlon, started in 1970. “But we also have tires for cars, ATVs, semis - we do it all.”
The company has invested heavily in having molds made to produce large runs of discontinued tires.
For example, some tractors (i.e. Farmall H, Ford 9N and John Deere R) manufactured in the early 1940s through 1960 had Firestone tires with three ribs and notches on the side. Miller Tire sells them to restorers focused on being as authentic in design as possible. They also carry tires for antique European tractors.
Big diameter, skinny tires for horse-drawn equipment and older implements are popular with collectors and people who use draft horses to farm. Miller Tire also sells rubber lugs and ribs for steel wheel tractors and implements so they can be driven on asphalt and in parades.
“We have a large selection of tires in stock. My dad always said you can’t sell out of an empty warehouse,” Miller says.
