So do I. 20 years ago I used to buy all my tires there until their pricing could be beat locally. Although back then, they did not have a wholesale price. Perhaps I will look into them again.

Please get back to us on what you find out from Tire Rack. I used to have a Commercial, Wholesale account as well. I always dealt specifically with one individual on the phone. He left the company a couple years ago and when I called to order some tires, I was told my company had not bought enough tires the past year and the account was closed. Since at the time they were still charging high shipping for tires, I just let it go. However, I would reinstate the account if they didn't have a huge buy-in. I like Tire Rack and would reward them with my business if they want to play ball. I don't see my business buying over 200 tires a year and that may not be enough volume for them to care a less.
