Series Brief

Overview

At his father's auto shop, a hapless manager strives to improve customer service and drive profits while keeping his troublemaking cousin in line.

Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 52 /100

Critical reception for Tires has been decidedly mixed, with reviewers viewing the Shane Gillis-led workplace sitcom as a low-stakes, highly vulgar comedy aimed largely at a specific demographic. Several critics frame the series as a rougher, more crass spin on traditional workplace comedies like The Office, noting that its enjoyment relies heavily on an audience's appetite for absurd, juvenile humor.

Favorable takes highlight the show's easygoing vibe, goofy energy, and solid performances, suggesting it offers light, effortless viewing. However, more critical outlets find the series flat, repetitive, or sporadically funny at best, arguing that its laid-back approach leaves the comedy spinning its wheels rather than landing consistent laughs.

“plays like a less-polished, far more vulgar blue-collar spin on The Office”

“an amiable workplace comedy with appealing, realistic characters and a goofy, loose energy, this series goes down easily and provides gentle laughs”

“Concise, crass and sporadically amusing, “Tires” seems unlikely to propel Gillis into a new echelon of establishment acclaim”

“the humor, like the characters, is too pointedly juvenile to take that seriously”

Why fans love it

Tires operates in the particular discomfort of a struggling auto shop where the stakes rarely move past the next customer dispute. The show sidesteps the polished rhythm of traditional sitcoms, favoring a deadpan approach to the chaotic dynamic between a manager and his difficult employees. It locates humor in the exhaustion of a workplace that never quite functions as intended.

Shane Gillis anchors the friction as a cousin who treats the shop office like a personal playground rather than a business. The comedy relies on the strained rapport among mechanics and clerks who are clearly stuck with one another. By stripping away standard dramatic beats, the series finds a jagged authenticity in the mundane complaints and relentless ribbing that define daily life inside an underperforming garage.
