The IOWA Newsletter
Vendor Highlight: Tire Sire
Thank you to our Vendor Sponsors!
Each issue of the newsletter features a sneak peek into the creation of your favorite products. This issue, Matt Liguori—a.k.a. The Tire Sire—shares the story behind his SLS service center in Chicago.
Vendor name: Tire Sire, LLC
Location: Chicago, IL USA
Products or services offered: Various repairs, upgrades and mods to Onewheels and other PEVs (tire changes, bearing swaps, waterproofing, battery mods, etc).
What is your most popular product? Deluxe Tire Change
How/why did your business get started?
After getting my first Onewheel, I couldn’t stop researching the board inside-out. Couple this with an amazing, inclusive community of riders and aftermarket vendors, and I was hooked!
What needs did you see in the community that were not being filled?
I heard people in my local Chicago Onewheel community talking about wanting tire changes or to test out certain mods or compare after-market accessories, but most people lack the time and the tools to do it themselves. Enter: Tire Sire.
What makes your product different from similar products on the market?
Tire Sire is the only dedicated storefront in Chicago specializing in Onewheels and other PEVs. I am an SLS certified mechanic and a member of the illustrious Onewheel.Pro inner circle, as well as IOWA. Tire Sire is the exclusive Rent eBoards affiliate for Chicago and sponsor of 2 local riders near the top of the mileage leaderboards. I also have the best grass-roots marketing team (thanks guys!).
Do you have any new/exciting projects in the pipeline? What are they and when can we expect them to be available?
Yes! I’m co-starring in Pushback, a Onewheel narrative short film releasing in the next couple of months! Being produced by The Night Shift.
How can IOWA members take advantage of your special member discount?
IOWA members received a special discount code in their email, good for 10% off any purchase or repair.
