Les Schwab Tires has expanded its commercial tire operations into Arizona with the acquisition of two BestDrive Commercial Tire Center locations in Phoenix and Tucson.

The move marks the first entry of the Les Schwab family of brands into Arizona and gives the company a larger commercial presence in the Southwest, according to a Les Schwab Tires company communication.

Demand for Les Schwab’s commercial business continues to grow, and the company said the Arizona expansion is part of its investment to support that demand. The two established locations are expected to help Les Schwab serve fleets looking for commercial tire support across a broader geographic footprint.

Arizona Locations to Join CMC Brand

The Phoenix and Tucson locations will be integrated into the CMC brand, which Les Schwab Tires acquired in June 2024.

CMC, which launched in 2014, focuses on commercial tire and fleet services. Adding the Arizona locations expands the brand’s reach while giving Les Schwab a foundation for additional growth in the state.

Les Schwab said the expansion will bring its commercial service, tire expertise, and fleet support capabilities to customers in the Arizona market.
