About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed an old tire lying on the parking lot of Tire Discounters. Curious, he picked it up and found something strange inside—a tiny, handwritten note that read: ‘Take me home.’ The delivery driver laughed, thinking it was some prank. He took the tire home, only to discover his car wouldn’t start without it. Turned out, it was a neighbor’s old spare tire with a mischievous sense of humor!

2. One day, as customers were browsing tires in the showroom, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—we’ve found a new use for our bald tires!’ A delivery driver piped up, 'Hey, I could use some bald tires on my bike!' The manager smiled and replied, 'Next time you come, we'll see what we've got.' And so, 'Tire Discounters' became known not just for their prices but also for their creative uses of old rubber.

3. At night, when the shop closed, a strange humming sound would occasionally come from inside the warehouse. No one could explain it. One day, an old neighbor stopped by and asked if he could investigate the noise. Turned out, his dog had run into the warehouse during the day and was hiding there at night, whimpering softly. Everyone laughed, and now, whenever someone hears that hum, they just say, ‘Probably just the dog again.’

4. One afternoon, while employees were counting stock, a small dog darted into the warehouse and began sniffing around the rows of tires. Suddenly, one tire seemed to move ever so slightly, causing the pup to yip and scurry away. Curious, an employee followed the little fellow and discovered that one old tire had a tiny hole, through which a small plant was growing. Word spread quickly among locals, who started calling it ‘the tire tree.’ Soon enough, people from nearby neighborhoods would stop by just to see the unusual sight. A delivery driver even brought in some seeds, planting them inside other tires—thus turning Tire Discounters into an unlikely urban oasis.
