About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Irving’s Tire and asked, ‘Why is there always a tire-shaped cloud hanging over your place?’ Irving smiled and pointed towards the sky. 'That's no ordinary cloud,' he said. 'It's our lucky charm—a tire-shaped cumulus that follows us since we won the county fair trophy for best customer service.' The delivery driver scratched his head, unsure whether to believe him or not, but then noticed a friendly wave from a nearby neighbor who nodded knowingly.
2. A neighbor was walking his dog one evening when he noticed something peculiar. As they approached Irving’s Tire, he saw an old man standing outside, muttering to himself and constantly checking his watch. Finally, the neighbor couldn’t resist asking what was going on. The old man looked up, smiled sheepishly, and said, ‘Just waiting for my tire to be fixed—been here for hours!’ Turned out it was a slow day, and no one had come yet. The neighbor laughed and offered to walk the dog while he waited. They ended up chatting amiably until a delivery driver arrived with the tire.
3. One day, an irate customer stormed into Irving’s Tire, shouting, 'My tire is cursed!' Irving raised an eyebrow, curious. ‘I told you it was bad luck!’ Irving calmly checked the tire and found a tiny hole from a thorn. ‘See? Just needed a simple fix.’ The customer grumbled but left, muttering something about overreacting. From then on, whenever someone complained about their tires being cursed, Irving just smiled and said, “Bring it in, I’ve seen worse.”
4. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Irving’s Tire and heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Your tires are restless tonight—check them carefully before you leave.’ The delivery driver checked the tires meticulously but found nothing unusual. As he drove off, he glanced in his rearview mirror and saw an old man waving from behind the counter, whispering, 'Just wanted to make sure you didn’t miss our late-night sale!'
