About Us
Countrywide Tire & Rubber
Welcome to Countrywide Tire and Rubber, in business since 1976. Our company was built on a foundation of quality products and providing superior customer service. Since the beginning, we’ve had a Midwest-rooted headquarters; with perfected state-of-the-art logistics to service not only the entire United States but also Canada. From humble beginnings in the retread industry to an ever-expanding wholesaler that operates in the B2B and B2C spaces. At Countrywide we constantly examine the industry and market climate to meet and surpass the needs of our current and potential customers.
Products:
In a fiercely competitive industry, we have strived to differentiate ourselves in numerous ways. Countrywide carries proprietary brands RubberMaster tires, MASTER ATV tires, SteelMaster wheels (white, black, and silver), MASTER ATV tires, and RubberMaster Plus inner tubes. Not only are these brands exclusive to Countrywide, but they also come with The Ultimate Advantage Lifetime warranty – covering defects AND road/field hazards. A one-of-a-kind comprehensive warranty.
Company Culture:
At our company’s core, we’re a great company with great employees that are well taken care of. Part of that care comes from providing an amazing work environment, located in the North Loop neighborhood of downtown Minneapolis. The office space has Mediterranean-inspired decor and an open-concept design, allowing the team to interact openly, yet all team members have private work areas. The space also encourages creativity and open expressiveness, which translates into no one day in the office operating like the next. The office has gym access, a pool table & shuffleboard, Nauti & 90 (office gets Nautical Bowls catered in for over 90 degree days), discount memberships to Lifetime Fitness, generous vacation days right off the bat, and many more perks to encourage employee satisfaction. Employees are provided with all the tools they need to ensure their success, like Apple computers LOADED with the top software and access to services that make their work-life easier. There are also the occasional team-building opportunities, such as a day on the slopes or an outing on Lake Minnetonka, which allows employees to get to know each other on a more personal level. All team members are provided with on-the-job training so there are opportunities for them to advance within the company. That’s resulted in many employees staying for years, a majority going well beyond 10 years of service.
Innovation & Service:
Our focus on innovation has guided us to add new technology and programs that provide a superior experience for our customers. All customers receive our premium, white-gloved “Above & Beyond” labeled service, and our do-whatever-it-takes spirit when it comes to ordering and scheduling deliveries. There are tons of ways to place an order, and customers can be sure that ordering with us will fit seamlessly into their business.
There are many other partnership perks that we’ve incorporated into our operations too:
- Ultimate Advantage Lifetime Warranty – Free replacement guarantees on all products with no proration and no extra paperwork for our customers on product adjustments.
- Private labeling on all products at no extra charge – this includes sell sheets, counter cards, tube conversion charts, tire inserts, and additional marketing materials to help us build the RubberMaster brand together.
- LINK Factory Direct Container – Customers place their container order on countrywidetire.com and then we handle the rest! We keep customers up-to-date with email notifications.
- Warehouse Pallet Program – Requires a $500 minimum, you can mix all products within the order, and freight is prepaid to your door.
- B2C – Countrywide’s products that have been uploaded to a customer’s website and dropped shipped on their behalf.
- MTO (Made-To-Order): A program for customers needing to replenish their stock but not needing to place a full container order.
- Countrywide Tracking – Gives customers the ability to monitor/track the progress of their Factory Direct container orders. Starting at the port of origin, monitoring the ocean trek, noting arrival to U.S. ports, and then following the final miles to your door.
We believe in working with customers to create solutions that fit—and grow—their business. There’s a reason people choose Countrywide. We always go above and beyond for our customers. It’s how we’ve always done things.
