About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Big O Tires, a regular once asked, ‘Why does it take forever for my tire to be changed?’ Employees shrugged it off as usual, but soon noticed that every time someone mentioned the place, their car mysteriously needed new tires. Soon enough, everyone in town started avoiding mentioning Big O Tires altogether. One day, an old delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe I should just say my brakes are worn out!’ And from then on, whenever anyone needed tires, they simply drove past and said, ‘Hey, Big O, my radio’s not working.’ The employees smiled knowingly and waved them goodbye.
2. At Big O Tires, a delivery driver once wondered aloud, 'How come every tire I bring here turns into a different size?' Finally, an old mechanic whispered, ‘Ah, boy, those aren’t tires at all—those are dreams. And everyone’s dream is a different size.’ The delivery driver nodded, smiling, realizing he’d been delivering wishes all along.
3. At Big O Tires, a little girl pointed and whispered to her mom, ‘Why do those tires look like they’re smiling back at us?’ Her mom smiled and replied softly, ‘Honey, it’s just an optical illusion.’ A delivery driver passing by overheard them and laughed, saying, ‘Actually, ma’am, that’s our new line of happy-face tires!’ The little girl giggled, and everyone had a good laugh together.
4. At Big O Tires, a delivery driver once noticed an oddly familiar box on the loading dock. Curious, he opened it to find a brand-new set of tires identical to those they sold—except these had been sitting there for months. Confused and amused, the driver asked his colleague about it. Turned out, every now and then, someone from accounting would order extra sets just for fun. So, whenever a new batch arrived, they’d hide some in plain sight as a little joke. That day, the delivery guy became the unwitting star of office pranks, earning himself a nickname ‘Tire Detective’ among neighbors.
