@fatalcoolfatalcool – It was filmed in Phoenix; that much I know for sure. That’s supposed to be Metrocenter Mall in the background behind the lady. Could be – I don’t know for sure.
@pegleg09able wow, i wonder if it it is a midwestern regional commercial, because i am 40 and never ever seen this one before. Is Discount Tire Company only in the midwest? Just curious. I just saw this ad on tv today for the first time and noticed how old it was, so I had to find it on Youtube.
didnt the tootsie pop commercial come out before this one(1970). which still runs today.
Mr owl, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop
thats funny when she threw it through the window she must have been really pissed with that tire in real life she would have had to pay for the window and would have been arrested
First aired in 1975, still plays to this day. It won an award for “The World’s Best Broadcasting Advertisement” from the Hollywood Radio and Television Society in 1976.
Thanks for sharing this. I actually looked for this because my fiancee had never seen it. And shes two years older than I am! Glad I found it.
@trytonez were?
@16mmDJ – 1975 – there’s a blurb about it on Discount Tire’s web site. You can Google it and find it.

Best commercial. never gets old.
I remember this from when I was a kid, and that was the mid 1980’s.
Looks like it was filmed in southern California. I wonder what is there now?
