About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular walked into Mr. Tires one morning, scratching his head. ‘I swear,’ he said, ‘my car’s stereo keeps playing “Mr. Tires” over and over.’ The mechanic looked puzzled but shrugged it off as coincidence until… Finally, the mechanic decided to check the car himself. To everyone's surprise, the cassette tape stuck in the stereo was labeled ‘Mr. Tires – Official Song’. A delivery driver had accidentally left it there earlier that day. Ever since then, whenever someone mentions Mr. Tires, people laugh and say, ‘Oh, you mean the place where they play their own theme song!’

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Mr. Tires with a frown on his face. ‘This is my third flat tire today,’ he grumbled, staring at the road. 'How’s that even possible?’ The mechanic looked under the truck for a moment, then grinned. 'Sir,' he said, pointing at a tiny hole in the tire. 'You've got a nail collector!' He shook his head and fixed it in no time. 'Just your lucky day.' The delivery driver drove off, muttering something about needing to check his route for old tires.'

3. A young man entered Mr. Tires one afternoon, adjusting his glasses. 'Excuse me,' he said, 'can you tell me how long it takes for a tire to grow hair?' The owner scratched his head, puzzled. ‘Hair?’ he asked. ‘You must be talking about those little threads that sometimes come off tires.’ The young man nodded thoughtfully. ‘Ah,’ he replied with a smile, ‘I see what you mean. Thanks!’ And he left, whistling as he walked out.

4. A delivery driver arrived at Mr. Tires one day, muttering under his breath. He opened the trunk of his truck and found an old cassette tape sticking out from beneath a pile of tires. Curious, he popped it in his car stereo and cranked up the volume. The song blasted through the cab—a cheesy 90s ballad that made him laugh out loud. Turns out, someone had accidentally left it there years ago. As he drove home, humming along, his wife asked, ‘What’s so funny?’ He replied, ‘Just some random love song from an old tire delivery.’
