About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Performance Tire with an unusual request. ‘Guys,’ he asked, ‘have you ever seen a tire that talks?’ The mechanic looked puzzled but shrugged and said, 'No, never seen one of those.' The delivery driver grinned and replied, 'Well, neither had I until yesterday!' And then they both heard it—a soft, sleepy voice coming from under the hood. Turns out, the tire was just having a bad dream. Moral of the story? Never judge a tire by its silence.'
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Performance Tire and asked for something peculiar—a set of tires that glowed in the dark. The mechanic raised an eyebrow but agreed to help. An hour later, he installed the glowing tires with a knowing smile. The next morning, everyone in town saw the delivery truck rolling down Main Street like a neon parade float—until the driver realized his mistake and sheepishly explained to his neighbors that he’d meant to ask for reflective strips.
3. A little boy followed his dad into Performance Tire one Saturday afternoon. As they waited for their tires to be checked, he pointed excitedly at something on the wall. ‘Daddy,’ he said, ‘what’s that big red thing?’ His dad smiled and replied, ‘Son, that’s a fire extinguisher.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully then asked, ‘Is it for when the cars get too hot?’ Everyone in the shop burst out laughing, including the mechanic who was checking their tires. A regular passing by chuckled, ‘Kids sure ask the best questions!’
4. A delivery driver arrived at Performance Tire with a strange package wrapped in old newspapers. Curious mechanics peeked inside but found nothing more than an ancient tire gauge—until they noticed its date of manufacture. Upon closer inspection, one mechanic exclaimed, ‘This thing’s from the ’80s!’ Another quipped, ‘Maybe it’ll fix our Wi-Fi.’ Eventually, someone suggested using it as a paperweight. And so, that’s what happened—they used the antique gauge to hold down some service manuals. To this day, whenever anyone asks about the mysterious package, everyone just smiles and says, ‘Oh, that? It was probably sent by a neighbor who thought we needed better tire pressure for our garden gnomes.’
