Distribution Map

K&M Tire is a family-owned regional tire distributor headquartered in the small Midwestern town of Delphos, OH. K&M owns and operates 30+ distribution centers serving dealers in the Midwest, Central, Southwest and Northeastern regions and distributes 50+ brands of passenger, light truck, and medium truck tires and 12+ brands of agricultural, industrial, and specialty tires. K&M offers numerous associate dealer and marketing programs to tire retailers across the United States. Because K&M does not own or operate any retail locations, nor do we sell directly online to consumers, we're able to offer a genuine partnership experience to our tire dealer customers.

  3. Develop trust and respect for each other and work together in a harmonious atmosphere.
  4. Commit to the pursuit of perfection.
  5. Accept the urgency of accountability and change.

K&M Tire was founded in 1970 by Ken Langhals as a two-bay gas station in Ottoville, OH. Today, Ken still plays an active role as Founder and CEO and is joined by his daughter, Cheryl Gossard who is the company's President, along with many other family members holding positions within the company. Being family-owned is important to K&M because we're able to be much more responsive and agile in meeting the ever-changing demands of our customers.


K&M Tire is proud to call Delphos, Ohio home. Delphos is part of the greater Allen/Van Wert county business landscape. It is a great community with active and committed people working together.
