SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Discount Tire, the world's largest independent tire and wheel retailer, is partnering with the Automobile Club of Southern California, the largest motor club in the AAA federation, to launch a tire service program that offers flat repairs and tire replacements to members in need. The initial pilot program will deploy at Discount Tire/America's Tire retail stores in San Diego and Los Angeles.
