About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little girl walking her dog noticed something odd—an old tire spinning on its own outside J R’s Used Tires. The dog sniffed it curiously but didn’t bark or run away. Soon enough, an old man in overalls appeared and calmly walked up to the tire. He gave it a few gentle kicks, and with a soft thud, the tire stopped spinning. Turning around, he casually said, 'Just needed a good kick-start.' A regular passing by chuckled, remarking, 'Guess that tire had more energy than some of us!'

2. One foggy night, a delivery driver pulled up to J R’s Used Tires and noticed an eerie glow coming from inside one of the storage sheds. As he approached, he swore he heard laughter—low and sinister—echoing through the empty lot. Curious, he peeked inside and saw nothing but old tires stacked high. Then, out of nowhere, an old man appeared, rubbing his hands together with a mischievous smile. ‘Looking for a deal on some used tires?’ he asked. The delivery driver nodded nervously. ‘Well,’ said the man, ‘these tires are guaranteed to get you where you’re going… eventually.’

3. A neighborhood kid was pedaling his bike home one afternoon when he suddenly swerved off the road. Why? Because an old tire had appeared out of nowhere, floating in mid-air right in front of him. Just then, a delivery driver happened by and asked what on earth was going on. The boy pointed up ahead, and sure enough—a tire was still hovering there like some misplaced ghost. With a shrug, the driver reached into his truck and pulled out another tire. ‘Must be a mix-up,’ he said with a smile, tossing it over to join its twin. And just like that, everything went back to normal—except for the occasional floating tire whenever someone from J.R.’s walked outside.

4. At closing time, an employee locked up J R’s Used Tires but forgot to turn off the radio. The next morning, customers found a mysterious announcement playing over the PA: ‘Attention tire buyers! Your future rides await—just ask for the Moonshine Special!’ Customers flocked back daily, asking for the elusive Moonshine Special. Soon enough, a regular asked the manager, ‘What’s so special about it?’ Manager shrugged, smiling: ‘It’s just our top-of-the-line tire, but with a great story.’
