About Us
Comstock Tire, Inc. is a local company of Madison, Wisconsin, that was originally Madison Gasoline and Oil Company on Regent Street. It was incorporated in 1935, and subsequently purchased by Mr. Virgil C. Comstock. New tire and retreading operations were initiated by Mr. Comstock and George O. Johnson in their partnership of 1940. In 1950, our business moved to Spring Street, and later the business was incorporated as Comstock, Inc. Then in 1980, we moved to our current location on South Park Street. Since the new tire and retread business was the main growth area of the business and petroleum business was discontinued, the name of the company was changed to Comstock Tire, Inc.
A division of the company, Roadstock Retread, was established in 1989 with the purchase of the equipment and lease of the building formerly occupied by Firestone and later Pro-Tread facilities in Madison, Wisconsin. The company's specialization in precure, mold cure, and section mold curing systems gave it the widest options for cost saving quality retreads for the company's customers. Complete lines of new tires, including passenger, performance, truck, and commercial sizes, plus dedicated service to our customers has led to continued growth and job opportunities in our community. Federal laws were passed concerning retreading tires, and retreading is now limited to commercial and agricultural tires. Our team of retreading technicians have 100 years of experience combined.
Since the beginning of Comstock Tire, we have moved twice but still have maintained our constantly growing customer base for over 70 years. We now have incorporated wholesale routes that deliver tires to 14 counties in Central and Southern Wisconsin. Here at Comstock Tire, we are certified to handle your run-flat tires and tire pressure monitoring systems. Our tire technicians are thorough and time efficient at repairing and replacing your tires. And our mechanic is very knowledgeable and capable of handling the majority of your automotive needs. Our 24 hour roadside serviceman is one of the best large truck tire technicians in the state.
