New model helps independent dealers capture both the tire sale and installation by connecting them with customers already approved for financing
CAVE CREEK, Ariz., April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dan the Tire Man today announced the launch of Dan the Tire Man's No Credit Needed Program, Powered by Kafene, a no credit needed lease-to-own (LTO) financing solution designed specifically for the tire and wheel industry. The program is paired with a nationwide network that directs pre-approved, ready-to-buy customers to local independent tire shops for same-day sales and installation.
The program addresses a common challenge in the industry: customers who need tires immediately but cannot afford to pay upfront often turn to online retailers or large chains that offer financing — then visit local shops only for installation.
By enabling customers to apply online and receive fast approvals with no hard credit check, the program allows participating dealers to serve more customers on the spot
