Luigi's Casa Della Tires is a tire shop situated in Radiator Springs, owned by Guido and Luigi. Surrounding the building are string lights reminiscent of those found in the Rust-eze tent, alongside Guido's iconic "leaning tower of tires," spare tires, and an Italian-style terra-cotta roof adorned with tire designs. Frequently, Red the fire truck can be spotted watering the plants at Luigi's. Inside, the magic unfolds with Luigi's highest quality whitewall tires, known as "Fettuccini Alfredo," displayed alongside Ferrari posters and mirrors for modeling new tires. Adjacent to these displays lies a hydraulic lift and access to Luigi's office next door.
