About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Big O Tires, a regular customer once complained, ‘Why does it always rain right when I’m here?’ Ever since then, locals joke that the weather changes every time someone mentions the store. One day, a delivery driver noticed an umbrella mysteriously appearing in his truck bed whenever he drove past the shop. A neighbor even claimed their dog started pointing towards Big O Tires every time there was a sudden downpour. Eventually, customers stopped complaining and started asking for rain on purpose—just to see if the weather would oblige again.
2. At Big O Tires, a delivery driver swore he saw an old tire come to life and start rolling down the aisle. The delivery driver told everyone it was just his imagination playing tricks on him, but from then on, whenever anyone went into that aisle, they’d whisper, ‘Watch out for Mr. Rubber Legs!’ And soon enough, Big O Tires became known around town as the place where tires had a little personality of their own.
3. At Big O Tires, a delivery driver once asked: Why do all my tires seem to lose air on Mondays? The old-timer behind the counter winked and replied, ‘Because Monday’s your day off, son. That’s when you drive your car less, so the tires naturally hold more air.’ The delivery driver scratched his head, realizing he’d been unwittingly checking tire pressure every time he parked for the week.
4. At Big O Tires, customers started noticing that every time they picked up their new tires, the salesperson would whisper something strange into their ear. No one could quite hear what it was, but everyone agreed it sounded like ‘Don’t forget to check your air pressure tonight.’ One day, a delivery driver stopped by and asked if anyone had heard the whispers. Turns out, he’d been hearing them too—and it turned out to be his own reflection in the showroom window repeating ‘Check your tire pressure!’ Everyone laughed it off as just another urban legend until someone finally checked their tires… and found they were perfectly inflated.
