When we started, tractors traveled on steel wheels.

Our great-grandfather Leonard performed our first tire changeovers when he switched steel-wheeled tractors over to rubber. Times have changed, but our work ethic, values, and desire to serve you—our loyal customers—remains the same.

How we started in Minnesota.

1959

A Beginning with a Focus on Saving Farmers Money

Vince Ness and his father begin vulcanizing damaged tractor tires in North Redwood, Minnesota. In 1976, he opens up shop in Redwood Falls, Minnesota and names his business Ness Tire Service.

1988

Expanding the Business with Tire Pickup and Delivery

Ness Tire Service begins a trucking route to pick up farmers’ tires for repair. In 1994, Ness Tire Service begins acquiring factory seconds from tire manufacturers as another way to save farmers money on new farm tires.

2007

Continuing Our Heritage in Farm Tires

Vince retires and ownership switches to the Paskewitz family whose roots in farm tires go back to their great-grandfather Leanard who worked to change tractors over from steel wheels to rubber tires. Ness Tire Service is renamed NTS Tire Supply. Over the next 10 years, NTS Tire Supply gains loyal customers across the United States and internationally.
