Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting.

At this time, tires are considered as parts and there is no other designation in the database structure to assign to them.

I created a Category for Tires, as well as Account for the GLCode for Tires,
When ever i add a new tire to the database i also select Tires for the Category and Account.

this doesn't help with the invoice calculations, but does with reports ect.

We also use a separate "Tire Sales" Account class for our tires. If you print the report called "Revenue by GL Code" you can see total tire sales listed under that code (whatever you designate/name it) and also your regular sales. This at least helps to correct the profit inflation issue. Our regular sales are currently simply "Unassigned" (this shows up as "<none>" in the account selection when entering part information) and tire sales are "Tire Sales." I manually entered an account class called Tire Sales and made a GL code for it. The only issue we have is trying to find a simple way to convert this information to QuickenBooks. We need to organize invoices by payment type, taxable (or non), and the type (regular or tire sale). The "Posted Order Detail" report (under accounting tab) gives us an easy way to find which invoices were tire sales, how much was charged, and if it was taxed for the day but do not tell us payment method (other than charge). If there were an easy way, or if payment type was added to the detail report, it would be very easy for us to have tires in Mitchell and easy for our accountant to transfer the information to QuickenBooks! We also currently create separate invoices for tire sales as we do not charge shop supplies for tires (but we do for everything else).

One solution I have thought of is to make a second payment type for every payment option. For example, I have "Visa," and would also have "Tire Visa" for tire only sales. This would get confusing/easily mistaken for a few of our managers though, so it has not been implemented.

Is it possible to separate out the tire disposal on the invoice after the ATD update is installed. Would you consider making it possible to edit line items for hazmat that would show up on the invoice as separate items? I could put Tire Disposal on that line.

I think you can do that with Tire fees that is part of the ATD update. Go to Setup>Standard Tables>Tire Matrix then click on the Tire Fee button. There you can setup this fee and name it as well. I don't know where it shows on the Invoice yet because we haven't tried it.

As stated above, tire fees are configured in Setup - Standard Tables -> Tire Matrix tab. Two potential fees available with rules to govern application by size, etc.
