Professionalism and passion
Tires and co. is among the pioneers in selling tires on the internet.The beginnings
Tires and co., named "Pneus Online" in Europe, was founded in April 2001 by Alexis Nerguisian, information technology consultant, specialized in banking software and a sports car race fan. The idea of creating Tires and co. was born from a real need of its founder, who used to see his tires "melt" at the end of every race. He then began looking for a solution to pay his tires less. Why not buy them on the internet? This step, so bold in 2001, when internet companies were passing through an economical crack, didn't find any followers among Alexis Nerguisian's friends and family back then. The partners weren't so confident either. How to trust someone with such a daring project?
Pioneers
Following its revolutionary idea, Alexis Nerguisian struggled day by day for almost a year to develop what was to become France's first tire selling site. The site wasn't even effectively launched when the first order came to deny all pessimistic forecast. Very quickly, Tires & Co. was a victim of its own success. It then had to extend, evolution that the company has continuously known since 2001.
A Winner's Philosophy
From 600 tires sold in 2002 to several hundreds of thousands a year today, what had begun as a small business has been turning into a young dynamic company. Nothing kept us from evolving. We owe this success to our good image : the one of a company that always tries to anticipate its customers' needs, is always ready to listen to their demands, very receptive and reactive to every question. As the founder says, our philosophy consists in "(...) offering products and services at the best prices within the shortest deadline, constantly providing guaranteed quality". The proof that we have always kept our promises is that since our creation several tens of thousands clients have chosen us.
