Jetzon Tire offers state-of-the-art touring, high performance and broad-line tires for passenger cars as well as an extensive variety of light truck/SUV tires for highway, off-road and aggressive traction applications. Our products also include commercial light and medium truck radials for every local market delivery or service fleet, as well as complete lines of agricultural and industrial tires. We are proud of our long-standing relationships with independent tire dealers and market our Jetzon line through a nationwide network of distributors.

Jetzon Tire was introduced in 1965, in conjunction with the Goodyear acquisition of Lee Tire & Rubber Company. In 1996, Treadways purchased the Jetzon brand. Today, Jetzon remains one of the oldest, yet innovative private tire brands in the market.

In addition to Jetzon, Treadways currently markets tires under the brand names Sumitomo Tire, Laramie Tire, Eldorado Tire, and Telstar Tire. Treadways is based in the suburban Philadelphia area located in East Norriton, Pennsylvania, and distributes our brands around the globe.

Since acquiring Jetzon, Treadways has invested millions of dollars in new molds, updated technology and exciting new designs. The result is a state-of-the-art product line that can compete with any brand in the market today. Our comprehensive product offering allows our dealers to meet every challenge in urban, suburban or rural markets across the country.

Jetzon tires are made worldwide by the best, most quality-conscious manufacturers. Best of all, with Treadways backing and our strict demand for innovative products from our suppliers, you can be sure that the Jetzon brand will remain technologically superior.

Throw in our treadwear and manufacturing warranties and you have a winning program that gives you a decided advantage in your market.
