Mike Alles was selling tire casings for recapping and someone asked him about getting into the tire business. Cars will always need tires and should be a good business to get into. With that said, the Alles Tire store opened in Grand Haven, MI in February, 1972. With many long days of work, the business started to grow. New customers started to come in and, over the years, their kids and now their grandkids are coming to Alles Tire and Auto service. After several years in Grand Haven, they had the opportunity to purchase a tire store in Spring Lake, MI. In February, 1998, Alles Tire of Spring Lake became a reality. Soon after thought, a severe storm blew the roof off the building. Alles Tire then built and moved to its current location in February, 1999. Over the years, Alles Tire has seen many changes in the automotive industry. One of the biggest changes was from bias-ply tires to radial tires. Tire life and safety has greatly improved. Other changes have been disc brakes, better suspensions, front wheel drive and electronics. Back in 1972, who would have ever thought cars would be computer-run, could start remotely, or have a built-in GPS navigation system.
