Store Manager Dale Carney
Dale has been in the automotive industry since 1986 and knows the Manchester area better than just about anyone. He opened Tires International on Broad Street in 1991, and in 2009 designed and built a new location on Oakland Street from the ground up. When VIP acquired that location, he brought nearly four decades of local automotive expertise to the team. Outside of work, he's on a mission to visit every brewery in Connecticut. Stop in and meet a manager who has quite literally built his career in this community.

All-Season

All-Season tires are versatile and suitable for warm and cool climates, but not recommended for extreme hot or cold weather conditions because of specific rubber components.

All-Weather

Like their name suggests, all-weather tires are versatile and can perform well in a variety of weather conditions and can be severe snow-rated.

All-Terrain

With bigger treads than traditional all-season tires, all-terrain tires allow for both on and off-roading capabilities.

Winter

Winter tires are manufactured to perform well in snow, ice, sleet and other cold weather conditions. Winter tires are typically soft, with an intricate grooved tread pattern — made for holding compacted snow and creating traction — and are severe snow-rated.
