About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an old man entered King Wheel & Tire with a peculiar smile on his face. As he approached the counter, the clerk noticed something odd—a small, rusty keychain shaped like a tire iron, dangling from his bag. ‘I found it outside,’ the man said cryptically, before disappearing into the back room. After several minutes, the old man emerged carrying a large box under each arm. 'Just some tires for my vintage truck,' he explained nonchalantly. The clerk nodded and went back to work, but couldn't help overhearing him whispering to himself: 'Gotta love those deals at King Wheel!'
2. At dawn, when most tire shops were still quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to King Wheel & Tire with an unusual load. The crate was wrapped in mysterious packaging and had no label. The crate turned out to contain nothing but old tires shaped like tiny bunnies and teddy bears. A puzzled employee asked the delivery driver why he brought them, to which the driver replied, 'For your customers’ kids, man—everybody loves free toys!' Everyone laughed, and from then on, whenever someone bought tires at King Wheel & Tire, they also got a little surprise gift.
3. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside King Wheel & Tire. As he stepped out, he noticed something odd on the shop’s loading dock—a strange, rusty wheel with no car attached. Curious, he picked it up and tried to fit it onto his truck's wheel hub—but it was too small. Confused, he left it there and went inside for coffee. Later that day, while unloading tires, an old neighbor joked, 'Hey, did you see the wheel? It looks like someone forgot to bring their car!' Everyone laughed, and soon enough, the wheel became part of the shop’s legend—an annual tradition where employees compete to find its owner.
4. In the dead of night, a delivery driver pulled up outside King Wheel & Tire. The shop’s sign glowed eerily in the darkness as he noticed a handwritten note on the door: ‘Tires aligned for good luck tonight only.’ He parked his truck and walked inside, finding the place empty except for an old man dozing behind the counter. The man yawned, stretched, then said, 'Aligning tires for good luck? Just another Friday night around here!'
