Tires Renewed for Season 3: What to Expect from Netflix's Hit Comedy

Since its debut, "Tires" has captured the attention of viewers with its unique blend of humor and relatable workplace dynamics. Season 2 kicked off impressively, debuting at #2 on Netflix's U.S. top 10 list and racking up a staggering 13.7 million hours viewed in its first week alone, translating to approximately 2.8 million views. Despite a slight drop in viewership in its second week, “Tires” managed to maintain a presence in the top 10 across six countries, showcasing its international appeal.

Critical reception for Season 2 markedly improved, climbing from a 40% critic score to an impressive 71% on Rotten Tomatoes. This change reflects a significant shift in audience perception, with Season 2 garnering a 94% audience score. Fans have praised episodes for their engaging storylines, many achieving ratings above 8.5 on IMDb. Critics have pointed out that "Tires" has transformed into a more cohesive and entertaining series, with highlights from a review by Collider noting it as "a vast improvement over the first season."

One reason for the renewed excitement could be the expansion of this season, which grew from six episodes in the first season to twelve episodes in Season 2. Not only did this double the content, but it also nearly doubled the runtime, from a total of just 2 hours in the initial run to approximately 4 hours and 54 minutes. As one of Netflix's lower-cost scripted shows, "Tires" continues to demonstrate that compelling storytelling doesn't always require high production costs or special effects.

In terms of cast dynamics, the addition of Thomas Haden Church in Season 2 as Phil, the wealthy yet immature father of Shane, brought a fresh layer of drama and comedy to the series. Fans are eager to see how the relationships developed over the past seasons will evolve in Season 3, especially concerning the challenges both the business and personal lives of these characters face.

With Season 3 on the horizon, there’s a palpable sense of curiosity regarding the direction the show will take. Viewers are likely to see the fate of Valley Forge Automotive explored further, especially given the business trials presented in Season 2. Additionally, the complicated father-son relationship between Phil and Shane is expected to take center stage as the narrative develops.

The renewal of "Tires" signifies Netflix's continued commitment to layered comedy narratives that resonate with audiences. The show not only joins a lively roster of over 100 returning series but also strengthens Netflix's growing presence in the comedy genre alongside other successful titles, proving that dedicated viewership can indeed spark multiple seasons.

Whether you're a die-hard fan or new to the series, keep an eye out for more updates on "Tires" as it prepares to take viewers back into the bustling world of auto repair and the hilarious antics that come with it in 2026.
