Levy shipped his used tires direct to used tire wholesalers and used tire retailers. Levy and Used Tires .Com have also expanded into tire recycling and scrap tire disposal. Used Tires .Com soon developed a network allowing scrap tire disposal, recycling scrap tires for tire derived fuel.
Used Tires .Com owner Howard Levy has been interviewed by the New York Times, The Wall Street, Journal, The Miami Herald, and Sun Sentinel as well as tire industry trade papers, tire business, and Modern Tire Dealer on the subject of used tire prohibitions and bans worldwide. Levy was recognized as an industry leader in the sales and distribution of used tires in 1996. Levy went to federal court in Puerto Rico and to the first circuit court of appeals in Boston to defend Puerto Rico’s tire dealer’s constitutional rights under the “commerce clause” to import and distribute used tires.
