    HICKORY, N.C.—Clark Tire Complete Truck & Auto Service is celebrating a double 70th anniversary—70 years in business and 70 years as a Goodyear customer.

    Founded in 1943 by John A. Clark, father of current owner John D. Clark, the Hickory-based dealership is part of the Goodyear Tire & Service Network, Motorist Assistance Program and Be Car Care Aware program.

    Clark Tire also recently opened a retail store in Hendersonville, N.C., its 19th in the Tar Heel State. It also operates two commercial tire outlets, a retread plant and three wholesale centers.

    Clark Tire celebrated its 70th earlier by arranging to have the Good-year Blimp Spirit of Goodyear visit Hickory and give invited Clark Tire guests rides.

    While predominantly a Goodyear dealer, Clark Tire also stocks and sells BFGoodrich, Dunlop, Hankook, Kelly, Michelin and Uniroyal tires, according to its website.

    “We've been a proud Goodyear dealer since the day we opened our doors,” Mr. Clark said. “Over the last 70 years, Goodyear has provided us with numerous opportunities to be successful. We've always had a strong relationship with Goodyear management and its sales team.”

    “Seventy years as a customer is a significant milestone,” said Phillip Kane, vice president, Goodyear Commercial Tire Systems. “We value Clark Tire's loyalty and look forward to continuing our relationship with this great company.”
