Originally founded in 1991 by John Kay, Kays Tyres has been a part of the local Albion Park community for 27 years. In 2002, Jonathan Kent, who had just immigrated from South Africa with his family to start a new life, took ownership of Kays Tyres. He was also a firm believer in supporting the local community and has been sponsoring multiple sporting teams in the area (Albion Park Eagles, etc) and charities (McGrath Foundation) ever since.
