Origin Story: Kicking the Tires

If you have ever gone car shopping, you've undoubtedly heard the phrase "kick the tires." Many of us have participated in this car-buying tradition, but where did this ritual come from?

The story begins in the early 20th century. Tires on early automobiles were made of thin rubber and were sometimes of poor quality. While looking for a new vehicle a prospective buyer might kick the tires to see how thick they were or if they would deflate. And so the tradition began.

Vehicles have evolved a lot since the early years of the automobile, but you can still find shoppers testing out the tires as they cruise the dealership.
