About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when the streets of Atlanta were quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to TireSouth with an unusual request. "I need two tires,” he said, “but only ones that are exactly 8 years old and never driven on." The night manager scratched his head, wondering if it was some kind of prank. Finally, after much deliberation, the manager found two perfect tires in storage—unused for eight years. As the delivery guy drove off, he turned around and winked, ‘Just wanted to make sure my car looks good at the next neighborhood barbecue.’

2. At dawn, when most tire shops are still closed, an old man walked into TireSouth with a strange smile on his face. He approached the counter and whispered something in the manager’s ear. The manager nodded slowly, then disappeared into the backroom for several minutes before returning with a gleaming set of tires wrapped in old newspaper. ‘These will do just fine,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye. At first light, TireSouth opened its doors wide, revealing rows upon rows of perfectly matched tires—all bearing the same mysterious label: ‘Made by Grandpa.’

3. In the early morning, before anyone else stirred, a little dog began barking furiously outside the tire shop. The owner, rubbing sleep from his eyes, peered out and saw nothing but empty streets. Just then, an old delivery driver appeared around the corner, whistling cheerfully. ‘Hey, Sam,’ he called out, ‘your little watchdog found another lost wheel again!’ And indeed, there on the pavement lay a shiny new alloy rim.

4. At sunrise, when most people were just waking up, a curious squirrel scurried across the parking lot. Curious about what lay beyond the fence, it found itself standing right next to an unsuspecting delivery driver’s tire iron. With a startled yelp, the driver spun around, only to see the tiny furry face staring back at him with big round eyes. They both froze for a moment before breaking into fits of laughter, realizing that maybe, just maybe, tiresouth.com wasn’t so mysterious after all.
