Raunchy TV-MA workplace comedy across both seasons. Moderate-to-strong profanity and crude sexual humor throughout, but a genuine father-son, save-the-family-business story underneath.
Tires is a Netflix workplace comedy created by comedian Shane Gillis alongside Steve Gerben and John McKeever. Season 1 debuted in May 2024 with six episodes; Season 2 arrived June 5, 2025 with an expanded 12-episode order. Netflix has since renewed the show for a third season, though a release date hasn't been announced yet — this guide covers the series as a whole and will be updated when Season 3 premieres. The series follows Will (Gerben), the anxious, seemingly unqualified heir to his father's struggling auto repair chain, Valley Forge Automotive, as he tries to turn the business around despite constant sabotage and mockery from his crude cousin-turned-employee, Shane (Gillis). Season 1 ends with Will's father reconsidering firing him after the shop shows real improvement. Season 2 raises the financial stakes further on the shop's survival and adds guest appearances from Vince Vaughn, Thomas Haden Church, and Jon Lovitz. The tone and content profile are consistent across both seasons.
Tires is rated TV-MA and leans hard into raunchy workplace comedy in the tradition of Clerks and other blue-collar sitcoms. Parental-guide data lists moderate-to-severe profanity depending on the episode, moderate sexual content and innuendo, and moderate alcohol references, plus general crude "guy comedy" set pieces (a bikini car wash gag among them). Shane Gillis' stand-up persona — deliberately crass and provocative — carries directly into his character here, and much of the show's humor is built on crude language and sexual jokes rather than situational wit alone. This holds true across both released seasons.
Ephesians 4:29 instructs believers to let "no corrupting talk" come out of their mouths, but instead "only such as is good for building up." A meaningful share of Tires' comedy runs directly against that standard, leaning on crude language and sexual innuendo as its primary engine rather than as an occasional element. At the same time, Colossians 3:23 calls believers to work "as working for the Lord" — and Will's underlying arc, trying to earn his father's respect and save the family business through genuine effort despite constant sabotage, reflects real, relatable virtue that many workplace sitcoms lack.
Some, and it's consistent across both seasons so far. The show's emotional core — a son trying to prove himself to a largely absent, skeptical father while keeping a family business alive — gives Tires more heart than a typical raunch-com. Season 1 ended with the father reconsidering firing his son after the business showed real improvement, and Season 2 continues to build on that father-son tension rather than abandoning it for pure gag comedy. Shane's obnoxious, boundary-pushing behavior is generally shown as the source of problems rather than something aspirational — the show doesn't hold him up as a role model, even when it finds him funny.
Tires scores 44/100 — Caution, a single score reflecting both seasons currently streaming. The crude, sexually-tinged workplace humor and moderate-to-strong profanity keep this from a positive recommendation, and it's not a show for younger viewers or anyone sensitive to raunchy content. But it's also not nihilistic or degrading in the way some adult comedies are — mature adults who can filter past the crudeness may find some genuine, relatable heart in its family-business story. We'll revisit this score if Season 3 shifts the show's content profile meaningfully.
GodlyScore evaluates every title across signal categories grounded in Scripture: profanity (Ephesians 4:29), sexual content (1 Corinthians 6:18-20), and virtue strength. Tires registers moderate-to-strong profanity and moderate sexual content/innuendo throughout both seasons, offset partially by a genuine father-son redemption thread around the family business.
