Dow Jones Description

Amerityre Corporation was founded in 1995 as American Tire Corporation. The first products developed and sold by the new company were polyurethane foam tires based on the company's proprietary chemical formulation technology. Since the tires were fabricated using a closed cell polyurethane material, they could never go flat. Thus, the company registered the Flatfree trade mark for this product. These tires have found broad acceptance in many everyday applications such as bicycles, wheelchairs, lawn and garden products, golf carts and commercial dollies.
