K O Tire

K.O. Tire was one of the top rated tire shops in the Chicagoland area for the past 40 years. Yes, we did close our doors at the end of August, and since then, I have remodeled my building at 150 Seegers Avenue. It’s all set up as a tire shop with all the equipment. The building and all the equipment is for sale, and until it sells, I will be here daily, Monday through Friday, 9 – 4. If you have any tire related questions, or concerns about the tires you’re presently driving on, please feel free to stop by, and I’ll take a peek, or call me at (847) 640‑8019.
Please skip down and view my post from December 22, 2015.
Thank you,

Why is this place still on Unilocal when, according to review of 8÷28÷15, it is no longer in business? Isn’t there a way to indicate this so that people don’t waste their time looking into it?
Just a thought — thanks.

KO Tire, one of the top Cooper Tire distributers in the county, closed their doors today.
As a long time customer their service, great prices and quality service will be missed.
I wish the very best to brothers Kevin and Lee.

My dad has been going to KO tires 20 years. I went in for a slow tire leak, Kevin identified a problem with the wheel rim which was ground down, cleaned and resealed. Great customer service, quick, fair price, very knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

The service here is excellent, very friendly and at a reasonable price, they even gave me some recommendations on how to maintain my tires. I will definitely be returning here when I need to get new tires. Thanks to Kevin and the guys for their service.

Made an appointment to have a tire patched. Arrived on time, was taken into the bay on time, Kev explained what the problem was (got a screw stuck into the tread), explained what he was going to do to fix it, and the cost. Problem solved in under half an hour.
Fast service, fair price. I’ll go back for tire service for sure!
Thanks!

If there was a PhD in tire service these guys would teach the course.
Been bringing my cars here for a tire service for a at last 5 years now, after a word of mouth recommendation from my best friend.
Kevin and the crew know their stuff and will treat you right. Prices are very reasonable too.
Recently I got a new set of 4 tires from Kevin, he told me there was a rebate for the tires, even had a pre addressed and stamped envelope ready to go when I picked up the car. WOW. Awesome.

Hello fellow Unilocalers! I wanted to share a great experience I had visiting this tire shop last week.
I was experiencing a loud sound from my car when driving, and was told by a few places that my tires were beyond needing to be replaced. I decided to take my car to KO tire based on the great reviews I have read here. I called ahead of time and made an appointment to bring my car in. Once in the shop, I spoke with Kevin and Lee. Both were beyond helpful and incredibly honest with me regarding my tire condition. Like I mentioned earlier I have been told by many places that I needed new tires ASAP. Kevin explained that getting new tires was not necessary immediately– my tires still had quite a few months left on them.
However, if I couldn’t see myself coming out again in the next several months then I had the option of getting new tires that day.
Based on my schedule, I decided to just get the new tires that day. KO had my tires in stock, put them on quickly, and at a fair price. I was in and out in a matter of no time, and felt like I had just secured a tire shop for the rest of my life. My car is driving great, these guys were awesome, extremely helpful, and not to mention very professional. If your looking for new tires this is the only place to go in my opinion. I will be going back to KO the next time I need tire help.

Another great visit to KO. My sister’s Mazda needed new shoes and I suggested KO Tires. Same as two years ago.
” Professional, no nonsense, SUPER fair, and friendly.“
Sister is happy with tire recommendation and service.
Visited again for my Honda a week later. Tire reseal, rim clean, balance, and rotation and I’m ready for this winter.
Thanks Kevin and crew!!!

Kevin: such a pumpkin. I called to set up an appointment, but they were packed and incredibly busy. You could not fit me in for another 5 days. He gave me 2 numbers to other tire places that he recommended and knew the people personally.
Then, he called back because one of his numbers he gave me was wrong because «the ink was blurry.» I haven’t even gone in yet, and already I feel welcomed and taken care of.
I will be heading to K O Tires in the future when I need tire assistance.

They are truly as good as their reviews portray. I phoned ‘Kevin’ early on to get some ballpark numbers and he walked me through every step and every option available to me. I ask A LOT of questions and he never once got irritated or impatient with me. I looked around other places and eventually came back to KO and made a reservation. The guys were waiting for my arrival and I felt instantly comfortable.
Within the hour, I had all rims washed and the tires replaced. They took care of my spare and even bagged the one good tire I had left for the road. This is the type of place that you recommend to family and friends. I’ll be coming back, no questions asked.

Great guys. Honest and they try to make sure you get what you need so you know that when you walk away you’re satisfied.
This is my first time here and they went the extra mile and I could see them doing the same for other customers as well. I’ll definitely be back next time I have to buy either new or used tires.

Excellent, thorough service, and took care of me quickly. I’ll be back and recommend others.
