History
Tread Connection was founded in 2016 in Charlotte, NC by brothers Paul and Alex Hosage. Prior to founding Tread Connection, Paul, our President & CEO, spent many years working in the automotive industry, four of which were spent managing one of the largest independent, nationally known retail tire franchises. During that time, Paul held multiple positions within the traditional retail tire and automotive repair shop, beginning as a tire technician and ultimately becoming an area manager, with responsibility over 25 retail locations across North Carolina.
As a manager within the traditional tire retail environment, Paul experienced first hand the shortcomings of a "brick-and-mortar" delivery system. First and foremost, he saw that his customers, even the ones that were perhaps otherwise happy with price and quality, were almost never glad to be sitting in the garage "customer lounge." They would much rather be at work or with their family than spend two-plus hours in a garage. Further, the huge overhead of a traditional shop lead to generally higher tire prices than could be delivered in a more efficient environment that wasn't reliant on large, expensive buildings located in high-traffic areas of the city.
Based opon his experience and feedback from customers demanding more convenience, value, and simplicity, Paul and Alex built their first mobile tire installation van and developed the service platform that will change the way America buys tires and wheels.
