The story begins in the late 1920's, making Clarke's Tyres one of the oldest businesses in Larne.  Three Clarke brothers - Andy, Willie and Jimmy become involved, supplying everything from paraffin to bicycle repairs.

In 1977, a cousin of the brothers, Andy Clarke took over Clarke's Tyres.   His son John and grandson Andrew now manage the business.  A motorfactoring service (trading as Larne Motorfax) was added, supplying car parts to both trade and public in the wider Larne area.

Clarke's Tyres has been built on growing a loyal base of returning customers, and is based on three core values - honesty, pricing and service.

Throughout the 1940's and 50's the brothers ran a taxi service, and fuel was sold until the 1980's.

2015 saw an extension to the premises, investment in new equipment and the employment of additional staff.   Clarke's Tyres plays a full part in the Larne community with a wide range of sponsorship and donations to local charities.
