RNR Tire Express, a tire and custom wheel retailer, has opened in Fort Wayne. It’s RNR’s sixth store in the state.

Located at 4614 Coldwater Road, in the Coliseum Shoppes just north of Glenbrook Square, the company said you can pay as little as $20 down for a set of tires and get flexible and easy payments, including a four-month, same as cash plan.

RNR Tire Express says it is filling a unique void in Northeast Indiana’s automotive aftermarket retail sector. The pandemic has resulted in owners keeping their vehicles — and old tires — longer.

“The importance of reliability and safety when it comes to car parts is second-to-none, especially for those raising families and those who depend on their vehicles on a daily basis,” Amy Kidd, marketing manager for RNR Tire Express in Fort Wayne, said in a news release. “I can personally attest to the value of an affordable tire retailer in town, since back when I was a single mother with a limited income, back then I only replaced my tires when they blew out, and looking back that was not safe. The owners, staff and I are elated to have the opportunity to provide these safe options to communities in Fort Wayne, Allen County and beyond.”

The company has brand-name tires and wheels and was founded in 2000 by rent-to-own veteran Larry Sutton. RNR now has over 150 locations in 26 states, with 16 franchisees operating 86 locations. Over the past 30 months, RNR has opened a new location every month.
