We Sell More Tire Brands Than Can Be Listed — Uniroyal Is One of Them
Southern KY Tire Pros sells and installs Uniroyal tires at 1004 Happy Valley Rd in Glasgow — including the Tiger Paw lines for cars and SUVs and Laredo lines for light trucks. If your size is not on the shelf, we can usually get it through our distributors, most of what you can find online included, and often for a better price installed.
Prices move with the distributors and depend on your exact size, so Uniroyal pricing here is by phone: call (270) 861-2003 or text (270) 320-7359 with your size off the sidewall — it reads like 265/70R17 — and we will quote the tire mounted, balanced, and out the door.
Every set we sell is mounted and Road Force balanced in-house, and rotations are free with any tire purchase from the shop. Our 3-year road hazard warranty — with free flat repairs and free balancing — can be added at the counter. And because alignments are a specialty here (Hunter Hawkeye Elite, 18,000-lb rack, starting at $89.99 on most vehicles), a new set can be lined up in the same visit.

Tiger Paw Value With a Major Maker Behind It
Uniroyal's roots run to 1892, and since 1990 the brand has been Michelin's value line in North America — a fact that changes how the price should be read. The Tiger Paw family is the core: the Touring A/S gives family sedans and crossovers a quiet, long-wearing tire at a price that competes with no-name brands, and the GTZ A/S 2 adds a sportier edge for drivers who like a responsive sedan. The brand built its name generations ago on wet-weather grip, and the current Tiger Paws keep rain traction as a design priority.
Light trucks and SUVs get the Laredo family, including the Cross Country Tour for highway-driven rigs and all-terrain variants for trucks that work. Nothing in the catalog chases lap times or magazine covers; the proposition is major-manufacturer engineering, honest ratings, and a dealer who can actually get them — priced so a family can afford four at once, which is when tires usually need buying.
The Safe Answer When the Budget Is Real
Every week someone in Glasgow needs a full set on a car that has to last, with money that has to stretch. Uniroyal is our strongest answer to that brief: the Tiger Paw Touring quotes against the discount brands while carrying Michelin's engineering and warranty infrastructure behind it. Second cars, student cars, and high-mile sedans all over Barren County roll on Tiger Paws fitted at this counter, and they come back for the free rotations that keep them wearing evenly.
Value tires still get the full installation here — sizing verified against the vehicle, mounting and Road Force balancing in the bay, and a straight answer if the alignment is what killed the last set. Sets bought from the shop rotate free for their whole life, and adding the road hazard plan extends three years of free flat repairs and balancing to a purchase that was already easy to justify.
Uniroyal Questions, Answered Straight
Who actually makes Uniroyal tires?
Uniroyal is owned by Michelin in North America and has been since 1990 — the same parent as the premium brand at the top of this page. The tires are engineered and warranted within that system, which is the main reason we recommend them over comparably priced brands with no such backing.
Will Tiger Paws last as long as Michelins?
Not quite — the Defender line is the mileage champion of the family, and some of its longevity is what the price difference buys. Tiger Paws deliver strong tread life for their class and, kept rotated, give years of service on a family car. We will quote both so the cost-per-year comparison is yours to judge.
Is the Laredo line enough for a working pickup?
For highway-driven trucks and light work, the Laredo Cross Country Tour is a sensible, durable choice matched to the truck's load rating. Trucks that tow at capacity or live on gravel daily may be better served stepping up a shelf — we will compare the numbers and let the truck's job decide.
Why are Uniroyals known as rain tires?
The brand's wet-grip reputation goes back decades, and the current Tiger Paw designs keep wide circumferential grooves and dense siping aimed at clearing water. On wet Glasgow pavement — where most local wrecks happen — that heritage is a practical feature, not nostalgia.
