There is a popular children's story about a boy who finds seven magic tires. In this story, the boy stumbles upon the tires one day while exploring a magical forest. Each tire possesses a unique power, making them truly extraordinary. The first tire is said to be able to grant wishes. Whatever the boy desires, he simply needs to think it while sitting on the tire, and his wish will come true. This power leads the boy on many exciting adventures, but he soon realizes that material possessions do not bring true happiness.
The brightly-colored tires are located at 100 N. Nellis Boulevard near East Charleston Boulevard.
A friend who works at a nearby shop provided tires that were set to be recycled, and Favela and Gomez stacked and painted them to resemble Ugo Rondinone s Mountains.

It brings him great satisfaction to see the gratitude and joy on their faces. The fourth tire has the power of invisibility. When the boy places this tire on his bicycle, he becomes completely invisible to those around him. While this power may seem exciting at first, the boy soon realizes that he misses the connection and interaction with others. He learns that being seen and heard is an important part of human connection. The fifth tire is said to have the ability to turn back time. When the boy spins this tire backwards, time reverses, allowing him to relive past moments.

However, the boy realizes that the true magic lies not in the tires, but within himself. He learns that by using his own creativity, imagination, and empathy, he can create his own magic in the world.
