Tires is good if you like Shane Gillis’s style: low-budget workplace comedy, abrasive banter, and deliberately dumb characters. It knows exactly what kind of show it is and executes that tone consistently. Its biggest strength is chemistry. Shane Gillis and Steve Gerben make the awkward, dead-end tire shop setting feel natural, and a lot of the humor lands because the performances feel loose rather than overproduced. It is not polished prestige TV, and some viewers will find it thin or repetitive. But judged on its own terms—as a scrappy, joke-first comedy series—it succeeds more often than it misses.

"Tires" successfully revives the classic, low-stakes workplace comedy format. It avoids heavy-handed messaging, focusing instead on relatable, blue-collar banter that feels highly authentic to a real-world auto shop environment. Shane Gillis and Steve Gerben have excellent comedic chemistry that drives the show. Gerben plays the neurotic, out-of-his-depth manager perfectly, serving as an ideal foil to Gillis's charismatic but unmotivated slacker persona. While the humor is undeniably rough around the edges and specifically tailored to Gillis's existing podcast fanbase, its massive viewership numbers and immediate renewal for a second season prove it works. It resonates strongly with audiences looking for straightforward, unapologetic, laugh-out-loud comedy.
