Quite often seen working late nights to ensure everything in the store is up to snuff. Occasionally seen taking power naps on a pile of tires as the smell lulls him peacefully to sleep.

He moonlights in the evening fighting low tire pressure crime and inspecting tread for uneven wear to inform potential customers.

We needed a new member so upon a star we wished and down came Austin.

Landing off the coast of China was a tough location, especially with him only knowing how to speak star. Taken in by a small fishing family Austin learned the craft of trawling. For many years fishing is all he knew.

On a brisk morning of 2020 Austin was pulling in his line and he came upon an old tire. He stared at it in bewilderment as to what it was and what it did. So later that day he learned how to use the internet and simply typed in tire. Naturally the first thing that came up (even in Asia) was Nothing But Tires.

So he called us and asked many questions, always wanting to learn, always soaking up information. When he explained where he came from we knew this was a serendipitous moment.

Austin left China and came aboard. He has excelled in his knowledge of tires among other things. He took on many odd interests that many would consider mundane, uninteresting or downright unusual.

Counting how many licks to finish a sucker has been an ongoing statistical analysis for him. He tried this with the flooring for a bit before we explained the floor will not wear down like that. Silly Star!

He likes to count his teeth daily to ensure they are all there. The sound of cracking his knuckles gives him a good chuckle. He is often seen confiding in our tire mascot NiBiT. Sundays are spent drawing clouds and petting squirrels.

Definitely one strange star.

Come on down to enjoy a conversation with this shining star, he may even teach you a few words in his native tongue.

Monty came to us, your regular Clark Kent type and amazed us with what he brought to the table. But we knew that Clark Kent type had to have more inside of him just yearning to be let loose.

So off we went into the Magic School Bus to explore the inner workings of our little Monty. We stand by our statement that we took an appropriate entrance inside.

What we found is exactly what we are showing you in his profile picture. Zany, crazy, colorful and kooky. (We had to keep the grey profile theme. That’s our doing)

We dare not share all the other inner workings of him however upon leaving it seems it left a larger hole (still stand by our statement) that made everything spill out.

Monty is now…how to put it… same same but different. At first it was the little things we noticed like coughing nerds candies. The levitating on colorful wind currents was a dead giveaway. We did politely ask him to stop magically converting every tire’s color to magical swirls of tie-dye rainbow goodness.

We really like the Monty that spilled out despite some of the strangeness it brought. He always liked the outdoors but now he really focuses on the animals. We KNOW we saw him talking to a deer the other day. We asked Tom (The deer) and he spilled the beans.

Other than all of that he’s the same regular great Monty he always has been. Spending his spare time working on calculations to save the world from a zombie apocalypse and rubbing his feet on carpets to zap strangers and give them super powers. He’s a giver 🙂

If you see Monty around the racks of tires stop him and give him a realllly tight hug. Guaranteed nerds candies!

It’s not always easy to find the right people despite there being so many amazing people in Alberta. Chris was a ringer that we headhunted to bring aboard….literally. We were at a boxing match and when the bell rang we grabbed him by the head and dragged him into the fold of NBT.

There was a glimmer…a shine..Chris was positively radiating with light. It wasn’t until we grabbed him that we realized it was just the spotlight he was sitting beside. EH! It’s alright. Chris loved our passion for finding the right person so much that he took off the next day to find his powers to match our team.

Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.

We just never knew how far he would go to achieve this greatness. We are forever grateful for it.

Remember Wonka Television? Well Chris used it to transport himself into hundreds of tv shows, movies and video games. This experience sharpened his skills for conversation and also made him a pro at first person shooters.

From there he took off to some lab (he still won’t tell us where) to infuse himself with some magic. I think he took too much but to each their own. Flying, super speed, eye lasers…he got the gold platinum package. Most of these things don’t even apply to the job requirements but at least we know we are protected if there is ever a need or a world needing saving.

When not wowing us at NBT Chris does enjoy his evenings and personal time. From parking lot parkour (whatever the heck that is) to creating abject art out of french fries and mayo he keeps busy.

Stop on in to meet the amazing Chris “Young Guns” Maverick. I’m sure he can share a few photos of his “art” while parkouring around to grab you some tires.
