The series is directed by John McKeever. Gillis, Gerben and McKeever are the creators, writers and executive producers. Tires also stars Chris O’Connor, Kilah Fox and Stavros Halkias, with guest appearances by Andrew Schulz. Brandon James is an executive producer for Rough House; Brian Stern and Kenneth Slotnick are executive producers for AGI Entertainment Media & Management. Becky Astphan is an executive producer. 

Tires is the second production from Gillis and McKeever’s production company, Dad Sick Productions, following Shane’s stand-up special Beautiful Dogs.

Additionally, Gillis is performing two live shows at the 2024 Netflix is a Joke Fest in Los Angeles: May 4 at the Greek Theater and May 8 at the Kia Forum.
