ADRIAN — Tire Express, located at 2558 Treat St. in Adrian, celebrated its grand opening on May 1. The family-owned business offers tires, custom wheels and lift kits, said Kanzis Cosby, who is one of the family members operating the business.

Before opening in Adrian, Cosby said, Tire Express had a location in Flat Rock, in the downriver area of Detroit. The business has been operating there since 1993.

The decision to move to Adrian was made, in part, because of the availability of the type of buildings  they needed.

“We actually own another business, a trucking company, and we were looking for something with yard space,” Cosby said.

The main focus of the business is on used and new tires, Cosby said.

“Used tires is what we specialize in,” Cosby said.  “That’s what we’ve done for over 30 years.”

“We offer custom wheels for people, so if you have a nicer car and you want to make it look cool we do custom wheel flip kits,” Cosby said. 

Tire Express also provides a mobile tire service. If you have a flat, Cosby said, they’ll come to your house and put the tires on. 

Cosby’s brothers Brad and Kolin also work with Tire Express. Younger brother Kayden will join the family business soon.

Tire Express can be reached at 517-920-4927, or 734-799-1284 for after-hours calls. Store hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
