About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when no one was around, an old tire sale warehouse in Detroit would occasionally emit a low humming sound. A delivery driver noticed it first, thinking it might be a ghostly truck delivering tires from beyond the grave. Curious, he approached the warehouse and heard a voice saying, ‘Need some new rubber?’ Turned out, it was just an old radio left on by a regular who forgot to turn it off. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh, and the warehouse continued its nightly broadcasts of vintage commercials.

2. In a quiet corner of Texas, near the abandoned highway, stood ‘Tire Sale’—a humble shop where locals bought tires for their trucks and cars. One day, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: among the rows of tires, there lay a small, dusty jar filled with what looked like glowing marbles. The delivery driver picked up one marble curiously—it felt warm to touch. Word spread quickly around town, and soon everyone was coming to see the magical marbles. Turned out they were just old hubcaps polished to a shine, left behind by a neighbor who loved tinkering. But no one cared; it became a fun local legend that brought joy to everyone in Tire Sale’s neighborhood.

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached the Tire Sale warehouse, he noticed something odd: the lights were on but there was no sign of life inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man diligently changing a tire on his own car. ‘What are you doing here so late?’ asked the driver. The man looked up with a smile, replying, ‘Just helping out my neighbor—his tire went flat.’

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached the Tire Sale warehouse, he heard a strange giggle coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw something unexpected—a small dog playing with a giant rubber tire, its tail wagging merrily. The delivery driver smiled, thinking it was just another quirky warehouse pet. As he left, he noticed an old sign reading ‘World’s Largest Rubber Tire Collection.’ Turning back, he saw the dog had rolled a massive tire towards him—with a big grin, it seemed to be saying, ‘Welcome to Tire Sale!’
