Curious, the mechanic opened the crate to discover nothing but glowing tires that hummed softly. Later that day, a regular customer asked if they could install those special tires too. Smiling, the owner replied, 'They're just for show, sir.'

It became a daily ritual—a quirky tradition that brought unexpected joy to the usually serious tire business.
