About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At closing time one night, a delivery driver asked the manager of Big O Tires if they ever heard the tires humming after dark. The manager shrugged and said he’d never noticed anything unusual. Just as he turned away, everyone in the shop heard a soft, rhythmic hum coming from outside. They rushed out to see where it was coming from—and there, illuminated by streetlights, were hundreds of tiny glowing tires dancing around the parking lot. The delivery driver looked at the manager and grinned, ‘Guess those tires do hum after dark!’ Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it had been just another late-night urban legend.
2. Late one stormy night, a neighbor pulled up to Big O Tires with a flat tire. As he waited for service, he noticed an old sign in the window advertising ‘Lucky Tire Rotation.’ Curious, he mentioned it to the mechanic who just shrugged and said, ‘Oh yeah, that’s been there forever—nobody ever wins anything though.’ Finally, after what seemed like hours of waiting, our neighbor asked if anyone had ever actually won something from Lucky Tire Rotation. The mechanic grinned and whispered, 'Just last week, a delivery driver won a free oil change.' They both looked around suspiciously, then burst out laughing as they realized the prize was always meant to keep customers coming back.
3. Late one stormy night, a neighbor pulled up to Big O Tires with a peculiar request. As he stepped inside, an odd humming sound filled the air—nothing like thunder or wind, but persistent and unsettling. Finally, the owner emerged from the backroom, rubbing his eyes. ‘What do you want?’ he asked groggily. The neighbor pointed at his tires, muttering something about them whispering his secrets. Everyone burst out laughing—turns out it was just an old radio left on in the workshop.
4. Late one foggy morning, a sleep-deprived worker stumbled into Big O Tires, muttering something about needing ‘tires for my dreams.’ As he fumbled around, an old tire rolled off the shelf and landed on his head with a thud. Startled awake, he looked up to see an annoyed delivery driver glaring down at him. 'You wanted tires for your dreams?' asked the driver with a smile, 'Well, looks like you got them!'
