Purcell Distribution Services in Wasilla, AK

All nine Purcell tire categories: agricultural, commercial, industrial, light truck, OTR, passenger, tracks, trailer and UTV and ATV.

That is a wider range than any Alaska service store carries. Anchorage and Fairbanks carry seven categories, and the Wasilla commercial store carries eight. Tracks are held here and nowhere else in the state.

No tires are fitted, no vehicles are serviced, no alignment is performed. If the job involves a vehicle, it belongs with the commercial store on the same site, which handles 24-hour roadside assistance, fleet services, heavy-duty truck alignment, car and light truck alignment and tire and wheel balancing.

Both listings answer on (907) 376-4755. Say which you need.

• The tire size exactly as it reads on the sidewall.
• The quantity, and when you need it.
• The machine or vehicle it is going on, which often catches a size that will not fit.
• Whether it needs fitting, in which case the call belongs with the commercial store.

Everything about running tires in Alaska is shaped by lead time. A few habits make the difference, and the store will tell you the same:

• Confirm the sizes you depend on before you need them. A call in a quiet week costs nothing. The same call on the morning a truck is loaded costs the day.
• Keep the spares you cannot wait for. For a fleet running one unusual size, holding a tire is cheaper than holding a stopped vehicle.
• Protect casings. A tire run flat is usually finished, and its replacement is a long way away. Stopping the unit and calling roadside assistance is the cheap decision.
• Tell the store what is coming. A fleet adding equipment, or a season that brings predictable demand, is worth a conversation in advance rather than an order in arrears.
