TPGA Launches Tire Discount Program
Texas Propane Gas Association (TPGA) member companies can start SAVING on Michelin, BF Goodrich and Yokohama tires with a NEW Tire discount program available TPGA. This program gives members discounted new tire pricing at tire dealers nationwide even with your local dealer (if they carry the above-mentioned brands). Qualifying member companies can save an average of 25 percent on new commercial truck tire purchases. Prices are more competitive than Michelin's advantage program. Also, retreads and light truck and passenger tires are also available on Michelin and BF Goodrich in this program. 

First, complete the credit application in its entirety. Once a credit application is approved by our partner, which, can take up to a week, you will receive a ‘bill to ID’ and the company’s unique ‘ship to ID.’ These IDs can be used at dealerships nationwide when making tire purchases.

After your purchase, you will be invoiced from our partner, TXTA and invoice must be paid within 30 days.
