Tires Season 3: What to Expect if it is Renewed?

While the second season of Netflix’s ‘Tires’ brings back the laughs and gags in equal abundance, the final moments hint at new challenges on the horizon for Valley Forge Automotive Center. With a new owner in charge of operations in terms of Uncle Phil, the company’s first few months under his reign are significantly more difficult than anything before. However, despite the tricky start, season 2 ends on a seemingly uplifting note as Will, Shane, and Phil make a vow to make things right their own way. It provides a seemingly positive conclusion to the workplace comedy series while also setting up a wide variety of scenarios that might be explored in a potential season 3, which could arrive on Netflix somewhere around mid-2026 based on the show’s track record.

Tires Season 3 Will Likely Resolve the Fate of Valley Forge Automotive

At the end of season 2, Will’s business plan of selling tires acquired from True Thread at cost takes a massive hit after their corrupt boss, Pete Seidel, and his underling Ryan decide to stop providing more shipments to the protagonist’s company. This change happens because the Valley Forge business model has a huge knock-on effect on big market players such as the Saudi-owned Tire World. As such, Pete makes it impossible for Will to carry on doing business with True Thread. Subsequently, we see Valley Forge’s revenues take a massive hit as they can no longer sell their most lucrative product at a lower price than advertised elsewhere. Things get so bad that Will even warns the new owner, his uncle Phil, that the company might crash and burn in less than six months.

While everything seems doom and gloom near the end, hope arrives in the shape of some new deals by Will and Shane that promise a better future. Will makes a deal with another unspecified tire seller who agrees that Valley Forge can sell at a reasonable price. In the meantime, Shane also makes a deal with Andiamo Auto Sales’ part-owner, Tommy, who agrees to a “fleet account,” meaning they get ten percent off for every car in their inventory. Using the same business principle, Shane agrees to more deals with other car dealers, which adds up to a significant improvement. Thus, a third season will likely answer whether Will and Shane’s tactics might have a genuine U-turn effect on Valley Forge’s finances, which could decide the future of the auto-repair garage chain moving forward.

Tires Season 3 Might Focus on Shane and Phil’s Estranged Relationship

Although Valley Forge’s future is an integral part of the workplace comedy, season 3 could further explore the bond between father and son duo Phil and Shane. In season 2, we got our first taste of the frigid bond between the pair, especially after a bad first meeting at Applebee’s. Things only got worse after that, as Shane’s relationship with Kelly nearly blew up into smithereens when Phil tried to interject, thinking he was making things better for his son. It becomes evident that no matter what Phil tries, he is constantly a nuisance in Shane’s life. This is only further exacerbated when Will’s dad, Jon, retires from his position as head of Valley Forge Automotive and hands over the company’s reigns to his brother, Phil, effectively completing a financial takeover.

The change in leadership from Jon to Phil is an exceptionally unpleasant topic for Shane, who wants nothing more than distance from his dad. Additionally, he can see nothing positive in his father’s ideas for the organization, fearing that he might even sell it like his other businesses at the first sign of trouble. However, despite Shane’s concerns and reasons for disliking Phil, the latter showcases true grit in the end and often adheres to Will and Shane’s advice begrudgingly. At the end of season 2, we even see Phil pledging that despite the financial troubles of Valley Forge, he won’t sell the organization and is prepared to stick out the bad period with his son and nephew. Therefore, looking ahead to season 3, we might see more development in the personal bond between Phil and Shane, which could form a central part of the narrative moving forward.

Tires Season 3 Will Likely Feature the Same Cast With Some Minor Changes

Despite the various ups and downs of Valley Forge throughout the two seasons, ‘Tires’ is consistent with its workplace comedy formula, which lends more space for regular cast members to continue playing a significant role in the show. To that end, it is hard to imagine the show moving ahead without Will, Shane, and Phil playing an integral role in season 3. This means the likely return of Steven Gerben, Shane Gillis, and Thomas Haden Church. Other returning cast members might include series regulars Chris O’Connor as Cal and Kilah Fox as Kilah, who might be developing some romantic chemistry with one another, which could be an interesting part of the third season. Andrew Schulz and Tommy Pope are also possibly coming back as the Andiomo Auto Sales car dealers, Schulz and Tommy.

One character who might be omitted from season 3 despite becoming a prominent addition to season 2 is Kelly Miller. After winning Shane’s heart and starting a relationship with him, the duo’s love only ends up in tatters after Shane catches her cheating on him with a co-worker. As such, heartbreak ensues as the romance between them is well and truly killed by major relationship complications. Therefore, it is unlikely that we might see Veronika Slowikowska, who plays Kelly, return for season 3. In the meantime, we can see the inclusion of other important players in the story, similar to Phil and Kelly’s addition to season 2. The show’s cast list will likely expand while also featuring some cameo appearances from recurring guests such as Francis Ellis’ George, Shane’s school friend who has appeared in a minor capacity across both seasons.
