About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Tires Plus and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever notice how fast those tires spin when they’re being balanced?’ The attendant shrugged, ‘Not really.’ The delivery driver grinned slyly and said, ‘Next time you look, maybe they’ll be waving at you!’ They both laughed, and from that day on, whenever anyone mentioned Tires Plus, people would wink and say, ‘Oh, did you hear about the talking tires?’

2. A neighborhood kid walked into Tires Plus one afternoon, carrying an old tire swing he'd found in the park. 'Can I get this fixed?' he asked with big eyes. The owner, a gruff but friendly old man, looked at it for a moment and then burst out laughing. ‘Son,’ he said, ‘that’s not even a tire—it’s just a piece of rubber!’ The kid stood there, disappointed, until another customer—a delivery driver—piped up: ‘Hey, wait! That looks like a vintage tire mark! Worth some cash maybe?’ They ended up selling the ‘tire’ online for more than they paid for new ones, and the kid learned an important lesson about identifying tires.

3. One day, while waiting for new tires, a little dog wandered into Tires Plus. To everyone's surprise, it started sniffing around the air compressors as if they were toys. Suddenly, an old delivery driver walked in and picked up the dog, saying, ‘Hey, isn’t this your pooch, Joe?’ The owner rushed over, laughing, thinking it was just another funny day at Tires Plus. But then he noticed that the dog had somehow managed to inflate every tire in the shop—all twenty-four of them.

4. While waiting for new tires, a regular noticed something strange—a faint whiff of fresh-baked cookies wafting through the shop. Curious, he followed the scent and found an old lady in the backroom, diligently baking batches of chocolate chip cookies. Turns out she was the owner’s grandmother, who dropped by every week to bake treats for her grandson’s customers. The regular left with his tires and two extra cookies—one for him and one for his neighbor, whom he’d never met but now felt like he knew.
