How to watch Tires season 2 in New Zealand
Controversial comedian Shane Gillis’ sitcom gets a second shot.
Controversial American comedian Shane Gillis (he was a Saturday Night Live cast member for about five minutes, for reasons you can read about here) took a stab at the ol’ workplace sitcom bit with this amiable, mildly offensive, undemanding one-liner factory set in an auto garage. Apparently it found an audience, because here comes a second season.
How to watch Tires season 2 in New Zealand
Tires season 2 is streaming in New Zealand exclusively on Netflix from June 6, 2025.
What is Tires season 2 about?
We set our scene in the family business of Valley Forge Tires, which long-suffering everyman Will has just inherited. The business is struggling, but Will has plans to get the old joint back on its financial feet. Of course, he doesn’t count on the “assistance” of his lazy, anarchic, sharp-tongued cousin, Shane. Hijinks ensue. Gillis has made “provocative” comedy his brand, so expect a certain frat boy flavour to the proceedings.
The cast of Tires season 2
Shane Gillis is Shane; Steve Gerben is Will; Chris O’Connor is Cal; Kilah Fox is Kilah; Stavros Halkias is Dave; and we can look forward to the great Thomas Haden Church joining the cast as Phil, Shane’s dad. Plus, we’re getting Vince Vaughn, Jon Lovitz, Ron White, Veronika Slowikowska, and Steph Tolev in guest roles.
This one has an interesting production history. Gillis shot a pilot back in 2019, and up until recently it was available on his YouTube channel. He then stumped up for an entire six episode season, which Netflix subsequently bought. So in terms of self-funded creators, he’s up there with Francis Ford Coppola and Kevin Costner. If you squint a bit.

Why we’re excited about Tires season 2
Well, the critics slammed the first season pretty mercilessly. But it was a smash hit for Netflix, so there’s definitely an audience for this out there. We’re not in it, mind you, but it’s there.
