Mr. Steven P. Cloward
c/o Big O Tires, Inc.
11755 East Peakview Avenue
Englewood, Colorado  80111

Gentlemen/Ladies:

     The First National Bank of Chicago ("First Chicago") understands that you,
certain other members of management of Big O Tires, Inc. (the "Company") and the
Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (collectively, "Borrower's
Shareholders") have created an acquisition corporation named BOTI Acquisition
Corp. ("Borrower"), and Borrower will seek to enter a merger agreement ("Merger
Agreement") with Company whereby Borrower will merge (the "Merger") into Company
and Company will be the surviving corporation (the "Acquisition").  You have
requested senior facilities (the "Facilities") in the aggregate principal amount
of $40 million (the "Aggregate Commitment").  First Chicago is pleased to
confirm its commitment to Borrower for the entire amount of the Facilities on
the terms and conditions set forth in the term sheet attached hereto ("Term
Sheet") and subject to the conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter. 
First Chicago intends, and reserves the right, to syndicate the Facilities to a
group of lenders (collectively, including First Chicago, the "Lenders") selected
by it.

          First Chicago understands that Borrower will be capitalized with:  (i)
the Facilities; (ii) an equity contribution, effected in a manner acceptable to
First Chicago, of substantially all of the shares of common stock of Company
which Borrower's Shareholders own, and $10 million cash (collectively,
"Equity"); (iii) at least $10 million of new privately placed senior debt
("Privately Placed Senior Debt"); (iv) $10 million of new senior subordinated
debt described below ("New Subordinated Debt"); and, after the Acquisition, (v)
Company's approximately $3.2 million of existing subordinated debt ("Existing
Subordinated Debt") and Company's approximately $1.8 million of other existing
debt.

          The terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement (including without
limitation the total consideration to be paid and the form thereof) shall be
acceptable to the Lenders.  The definitive structure of the Acquisition has not
been determined and must be satisfactory to the Lenders.  The terms and
conditions of the Privately Placed Senior Debt, including without limitation,
those pertaining to default, amortization, interest rate, covenants and
defaults, and the entity or entities which issue the debt, shall be in form and
substance acceptable to the Lenders.  The terms and conditions of the New and
Existing Subordinated Debt (collectively, "Subordinated Debt"), including
without limitation, those pertaining to subordination, default, standstill,
sinking fund, amortization, interest rate, covenants and defaults, the entity or
entities which issue or are otherwise liable for the Subordinated Debt, shall be
in form and substance acceptable to the Lenders.  Accordingly, certain terms of
the Existing Subordinated Debt shall be amended.  Without limiting the
foregoing, all covenants and defaults contained in the Subordinated Debt
indenture shall be less restrictive than those contained in the Loan Documents;
the Subordinated Debt shall be unsecured; there shall be no mandatory
prepayments or redemptions of any type; none of the New Subordinated Debt shall
mature until at least one year after all of the Senior Facilities have matured
(but the Existing Subordinated Debt held by Kelly-Springfield may mature
according to the amortization schedule described in the Borrower's business
plan, dated June 26, 1995); and there shall be no substantial limitation on the
sale of assets.

     First Chicago has reviewed certain historical and pro forma financial
statements of Company, received in February, 1995, and entitled "Confidential
Memorandum, Big O Tires, Inc. $50,000,000 Acquisition Financing", delivered by
KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, and certain financial information First Chicago has about
Company from First Chicago's existing credit relationship with the Company. 
First Chicago's commitment is subject to its continuing satisfaction therewith
and its satisfaction of such other due diligence investigation as may be
necessary for First Chicago's credit evaluation.  In the event that First
Chicago's continuing review of the Borrower and its subsidiaries discloses
information relating to conditions or events not previously disclosed to First
Chicago or relating to new information or additional developments concerning
conditions or events previously disclosed which may have a material adverse
effect on the condition, assets, properties, business or prospects of the
Borrower and its subsidiaries, or any such conditions set forth in such
definitive documentation are not satisfied, First Chicago may, in its sole
discretion, suggest alternative financing amounts or structures that ensure
adequate protection for the Lenders or decline to participate in the proposed
financing.

     Borrower agrees to (i) reimburse First Chicago for all out-of-pocket
expenses (including the fees of outside counsel and time charges for inside
counsel) incurred in connection with this Commitment Letter, the transactions
contemplated thereby and First Chicago's on-going due diligence therewith,
including without limitation travel expenses and costs incurred in connection
with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, syndication, and
enforcement of any document relating to this transaction and its role hereunder,
(ii) indemnify and hold harmless the Lenders and their respective officers,
employees, agents and directors (collectively, including the Lenders, the
"Indemnified Persons") against any and all losses, claims, damages, or
liabilities of every kind whatsoever to which the Indemnified Persons may become
subject in connection in any way with the transaction which is the subject of
this Commitment Letter, including without limitation expenses incurred in
connection with investigating or defending against any liability or action
whether or not a party thereto, except to the extent any of the foregoing is
found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen
solely from such Lender's gross negligence or wilful misconduct; and (iii)
assert no claim against First Chicago or the Lenders or any other Indemnified
Persons seeking consequential damages on any theory of liability in connection
in any way with the transaction which is the subject of this Commitment Letter
or any multiple roles which First Chicago assumes.  The obligations described in
this paragraph are independent of all other obligations of Borrower hereunder
and under the Loan Documents, shall survive the expiration, revocation or
termination of this Commitment Letter, and shall be payable whether or not the
financing transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter shall close. 
First Chicago's obligations under this Commitment Letter are enforceable solely
by the party signing this Commitment Letter and may not be relied upon by any
other person.  For purposes of enforcing this indemnity, Borrower irrevocably
submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a claim arising
out of or relating to the services provided under this Commitment Letter is
properly brought against First Chicago or the Lenders and irrevocably waive any
objection as to venue or inconvenient forum.  IF THIS COMMITMENT LETTER, THE
TERM SHEET, THE AGENT FEE LETTER, OR ANY ACT, OMISSION OR EVENT DESCRIBED IN
THIS PARAGRAPH BECOMES THE SUBJECT OF A DISPUTE, THE BORROWER AND FIRST CHICAGO
EACH HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY.  Borrower agrees not to settle any claim,
litigation or proceeding relating to this transaction (whether or not First
Chicago is a party thereto) unless such settlement releases all Indemnified
Persons from any and all liability in respect of such transaction.


                                      - 2 -
     First Chicago's Commitment hereunder is separate and distinct from First
Chicago's undertaking to act as Borrower's placement agent for the Privately
Placed Senior Debt.  The Borrower has directed First Chicago that those
personnel working on the Commitment hereunder and those personnel working on the
private placement should share the Borrower's confidential information with each
other and generally work together on this transaction.  Borrower acknowledges
and consents to First Chicago's acting in these multiple roles.  Borrower
understands that the personnel working on the private placement will not be
representing First Chicago as agent bank under this Commitment and cannot bind
First Chicago in that capacity.

     This commitment is subject to (i) the preparation, execution, and delivery
of a mutually acceptable credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") and other loan
documents (collectively, the "Loan Documents") incorporating, without
limitation, substantially the terms and the conditions outlined herein and in
the Term Sheet; and (ii) First Chicago's determination that (a) there is an
absence of a material adverse change in the business, condition (financial or
otherwise), operations, performance, properties, or prospects of the Borrower or
any of its material subsidiaries from December 31, 1994; and (b) there is an
absence of any material adverse change prior to closing in primary and secondary
loan syndication markets or capital markets generally.

     First Chicago will manage all aspects of the syndication, including,
without limitation, decisions as to the selection of institutions to be
approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be
accepted, which institutions will participate, the allocations of the
commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of the fees
discussed herein among the Lenders.  Upon First Chicago's acceptance of any such
commitment from a Lender, First Chicago shall be relieved of its commitment to
fund such amount.  To assist First Chicago in its syndication efforts, Borrower
shall (a) provide and to cause its advisors to provide First Chicago upon
request with all information deemed reasonably necessary by it to complete
successfully the syndication, including, without limitation, all information and
projections prepared by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf relating to the
transactions contemplated hereby; (b) cause the management of the Borrower to
actively participate in, both the preparation of an information package
regarding the operations and prospects of the Borrower and the presentation of
the information to prospective Lenders; (c) not to make any statement publicly
about the Commitment or the Facilities which might negatively affect First
Chicago's and Lenders' ability to syndicate the Facilities; and (d) assist, if
First Chicago so requests, restructuring in a manner mutually acceptable to
First Chicago and the Borrower, of the terms and conditions of the Facilities
if, in First Chicago's judgment, any portion of the syndication shall have been
unsuccessful.

     After the Borrower has publicly announced the transaction, the Borrower
authorizes First Chicago to answer inquiries from the media with respect to the
Facilities and to issue press releases with respect to the Facilities.  The
foregoing authorization shall remain in effect unless the Borrower notifies
First Chicago in writing that such authorization is revoked.

     Please indicate your acceptance of this commitment in the space indicated
below and return a copy of this Commitment Letter so executed to First Chicago. 
This commitment will expire at 5 p.m. Wednesday, August 2, 1995, unless on or
prior to such time First Chicago shall have received a copy of this Letter
executed by the Borrower.  Notwithstanding timely acceptance of the commitment
pursuant to the preceding sentence, the commitment will automatically terminate
unless definitive Loan Documents are executed on or before November 30, 1995. 
By its acceptance hereof, the Borrower agrees to pay First Chicago the fees
described in the fee letter ("Fee Letter") of even date herewith.

     By its acceptance hereof, Borrower hereby authorizes First Chicago, at
First Chicago's sole expense but without any prior approval by Borrower, to
publish such tombstones and give such other publicity to the Facilities as First

                                      - 3 -
Chicago may from time to time determine in its sole discretion.

     By accepting delivery of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the
Term Sheet, Borrower hereby agrees that, prior to executing this Commitment
Letter, Borrower will not disclose either expressly or impliedly, without First
Chicago's consent, to any person any of the terms of this Commitment Letter, the
Fee Letter or Term Sheet, or the fact that this Commitment Letter, the Fee
Letter or Term Sheet or the financing proposal represented thereby exists except
that Borrower may disclose any of the foregoing to any employee, financial
advisor (but not to any commercial lender) or attorney of Borrower to whom, in
each case, it is necessary to disclose such information so long as any such
employee, advisor or attorney is directed to observe this confidentiality
obligation.  Upon Borrower's execution of this Commitment Letter, Borrower may
make public disclosure of the existence and the amount of the commitment; and
Borrower may file a copy of the Commitment Letter, or make such other
disclosures if such disclosure is, in the opinion of Borrower's counsel,
required by law.  If Borrower does not accept this commitment, Borrower is to
immediately return this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the Term Sheet
(and all copies of the foregoing) to First Chicago.

     This Commitment Letter and Term Sheet supersede any and all prior versions
thereof.  This Commitment Letter shall be governed by the internal laws of the
State of Illinois, and may only be amended by a writing signed by both parties.

person any of the
terms, conditions or other contents of this letter or subsequent

1995 unless we have
received a signed copy of this letter signifying your agreement
to these terms and
conditions.  Additionally, you will pay us a non-refundable cash
deposit of $50,000,
payable upon your acceptance of this letter, which deposit will
be credited against
your obligations to reimburse our out-of-pocket expenses.  Upon
your signed
acceptance hereof, this letter will supersede the Proposal Letter
and all previous
correspondence to the extent they are inconsistent herewith.

We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with you and
look forward to the

MARKETING PROCESS OVERVIEW (CONT'D)

/ / The Company initially received two written acquisition proposals:

    -- On October 11, 1994, AKH, a California-based company which owns retail
       tire dealerships, delivered a letter to the Company proposing an
       acquisition of $18.00 per share in cash subject to due diligence,
       financing and other conditions

    -- On December 2, 1994, the Company received a letter from a group comprised
       of certain members of Big O's management and dealers that proposed to
       acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company for $18.50 per share
       subject to, among other things:

       -- obtaining financing

       -- participation by at least 80% of the shares held by the Company's ESOP

       -- participation by franchise dealers having at least 85% of the
          franchise locations

    the transaction and the implementation of the Shareholder Rights Plan

    -- On March 31, 1995, such lawsuits were dismissed

MARKETING PROCESS OVERVIEW (CONT'D)

/ / On February 7, 1995, the Company received a letter from Big O's management
    and dealers advising that the group had elected to discontinue pursuing an
    acquisition as a result of, among other issues:

    -- the inability of the Company's management and dealers' to reach agreement
       on certain issues relating to the acquisition

/ / On February 8, 1995, the Company publicly disclosed Big O's management and
    dealers intentions

    management and dealers to acquire Big O for a cash price of $16.00

    -- the Investment Committee of the Board (the "Investment Committee")
       determined not to accept the $16.00 per share offer and advised the
       management and dealer group that it would be open to further negotiations
       at a more favorable price

/ / On June 7, 1995, after a series of negotiations the Company entered into an
    agreement with the dealer management group with respect to an offer at
    $16.50, subject to similar conditions highlighted in the group's December 2,
    1994 proposal letter

COMPANY OVERVIEW


           --------------------------------------------------------------------

           / / Big O Tires, Inc., is one of the largest independent retail tire 
               and auto service franchisers in North America, with 378 stores in
               18 states primarily in the West and Midwest (1).  The Company 
               also distributes tires and other automotive products to 40 
               Associated Dealers in British Columbia, Canada.  It is the sole 
               distributor of its private Big O brand tires and a major 
               distributor of other brands such as Michelin, B.F. Goodrich and 
               Uniroyal, as well as aftermarket suspension parts manufactured by
               Monroe Auto Equipment.

           / / In June 1993, the Company adopted a plan to consolidate three of 
               its regional distribution centers into a single warehouse 
               facility to be located near Las Vegas, Nevada.  One of the three
               regional distribution centers to be consolidated was located in 
               Denver, Colorado, and the other two were located in the cities of
               Ontario and Vacaville, California.  The Nevada warehouse facility
               was opened on March 14, 1995.

           / / The Company's sales by product line in 1994 were as follows:

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPANY OVERVIEW


           --------------------------------------------------------------------
           / / In July 1994, the Company implemented its "Cost-U-Less" 
               marketing program. This program provided, along with a marketing 
               message of competitive pricing on all products and services, a 
               reduction in the cost of Big O brand tires to the Company's 
               franchisees. This allowed the franchisees to offer Big O brand 
               products to retail customers at lower retail prices which 
               generally allowed the franchisees to be more competitive in 
               their markets

           / / The program has resulted in an increase in the percent of tires 
               sold that are Big O brand, which generally provide a higher 
               margin than non-Big O brand tires

MANAGEMENT FORECASTS
KEY ASSUMPTIONS

REVENUE FORECAST

Revenues are forecast on a per store basis, based upon historical results, with
adjustments for the implementation of the new marketing plan mid-year 1994.

Total tires sold per store are forecast to increase approximately 10% in the
second half of 1994 as compared to the comparable period in 1993. This
represents a 29.5% increase as compared to the first six months of 1994.  No
additional growth in total tires sold per store is assumed for the remainder of
the forecast period.

The mix of Snow sold as a percent of all tires sold is forecast to increase from
66% in the first half of 1994 to 75% for the second half of 1994 and for the
remainder of the forecast period.

Revenue received from the sale of tires is forecast to decrease 8% on a per tire
basis for the forecast period as compared with the first half of 1994 as a
result of the implementation of the new marketing plan. Revenue per Snow tire is
held flat throughout the remainder of the forecast period.  No change in revenue
per tire is forecast for non-Snow.

Revenue from the sale of other Snow supplied products (i.e. wheels, shocks,
etc.) is forecast to increase at a 2% annual rate.

New stores are forecast operational for 40% of the year in which they first
opened.  Revenue is ramped up over a two-and-one-half year period, increasing
from 80%, to 90% to 100% of a typical store over this time period.

In calculating franchise royalty revenue, service revenue and revenue from the
sale of non-Snow supplied products is forecast to increase at a 2% annual rate.

<PAGE>

COST OF GOODS SOLD

Cost of tires on a per unit basis is forecast based on historical costs for the
first half of 1994.  As a result of the price decrease to dealers in Snow
branded tires, the resulting gross profit margin to the Company is forecast to 
decrease from 23% to 17% on Snow from the first half of 1994 to the second half
of 1994. As a result of a forecast reduction in warranty costs in the years 1996
to 1998 and no reduction in the price of tires sold, gross profit margins on
Snow are forecast to increase during this period.  Margins on non-Snow, and
other products are assumed to remain constant at their historical levels.

Warranty and tire freight costs are forecast independent of the cost of the
tires from the manufacturers. Warranty costs are forecast, on a per tire basis,
to increase 3% in 1995, and decrease 25% percent per year in 1996 and 1997,
decrease an additional 10% in 1998 and remain flat thereafter.

Freight costs are forecast to increase $0.50 per tire when the new Las Vegas
distribution facility opens, estimated to occur on April 1, 1995.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE

S, G & A expense, excluding depreciation and amortization, is forecast
separately for corporate, regions and retail.

Corporate S, G & A is forecast to remain flat for the second half on 1994 and is
increased 5% per year for the remainder of the forecast period.

S, G & A expense for the regions is forecast to increase proportionally with the
increase in non-retail sales.

Retail S, G & A expense is forecast as $360,000 per Company-owned store.

SPEC STORE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

The Aggressive Growth Case forecast assumes the Company is successful in
implementing its spec store development program as currently envisioned. 
Important assumptions in this analysis include:

</TABLE>

 ** The Moderate Growth Case forecast assumes half of the spec store starts
beginning in 1995.

Spec stores are built at a total cost of $650,000.  90% of spec stores are
assumed sold to new franchisees for $650,000.  50% of these franchisees are
given a $30,000 bridge loan, repaid over five years.  

The remaining 10% are retained by the Company and leased to franchisees at a
resulting return on capital invested of 10%.  No sale of retained real estate is
assumed.

Additionally, the Company continues to build six stores per year through its
development joint venture program at a cost to the Company of $60,000 per joint
venture.  These stores are leased to new or existing franchisees and  sold to
the franchisee in year four at cost.

NEW STORE OPENINGS

The Aggressive Growth Case forecast assumes new stores are opened and closed
primarily in conformance with the Company's latest business development plan. 
The forecast is summarized below:

</TABLE>

**  The Moderate Growth Case forecast assumes half of the new store openings
beginning in 1995.
          
All new stores are added through existing dealer expansions or new franchisees. 
No new stores are added through conversions, master franchises, operational
joint ventures or additions to Company stores.  No costs are imputed with the
closing of a store other than the loss of the associated revenue.

<PAGE>

OTHER CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

The Company's primary capital requirements are for the construction of the Las
Vegas distribution facility in 1995 and for the implementation of the spec
program and the Management Information System.  Cash proceeds are assumed to be
received in 1995 for the sale of the Vacaville and Denver distribution centers.

LONG-TERM DEBT

Retained real estate is assumed 80% financed through a financing similar to that
which the Company currently has in place with AT&T.  Other cash requirements are
assumed financed through the BBC line-of-credit.

                            CALCULATION OF WEIGHTED AVERAGE COST OF CAPITAL

COST OF EQUITY k(e)

CAPITAL ASSET PRICING MODEL (CAPM):  k(e)=R(f) + B x [R(m)-R(f)]

k(e) = Cost of Equity

R(f) = Risk Free Rate
       Yield on Five Year U.S. Treasuries as of September 8, 1994

[R(m) - R(f) Equity Risk Premium
     Arithmetic mean of common stock total returns minus long-term government
bond total returns for the period 1926-1993 as reported in Obbotson Associates'
Stocks, Bonds, Bills and Inflation 1994 Yearbook

B = Beta
    Level of Systematic Risk Associated with the Company's Stock

LEVERING/UNLEVERING BETA:   B(1) = B(u) x (1 + D/(D+E))

                            B(u) = B(1)/(1 + (D/(D+E))

B(1) = Levered Beta
B(u) = Unlevered Beta
D/E = Market Debt/Equity Ratio

WEIGHTED AVERAGE COST OF CAPITAL:  WACC = [D/TCX[k(d)x(1-t)] + [E/TCxk(e)]

k(e) = Cost of Equity

k(d) = Pre-Tax Cost of Debt

D/TC = Debt/(Debt + Equity)

E/TC = Equity/(Debt + Equity)

t = Marginal Tax Rate

ASSUMPTIONS:               LOW

Risk Free Rate(1)        6.90%

R(m) - R(f)(2)           7.60%

Pre-Tax Cost of Debt     8.50%

Marginal Tax Rate       40.00%

Debt/(Debt+Eq. MV)      42.80%

BETA CALCULATIONS:      LOW

Unlevered Beta           0.82

Levered Beta(1)          1.16

COST OF EQUITY:         LOW

Cost of Equity/k(e)     15.75%

BETA CALCULATION:

After-Tax Cost of Debt   5.10%

Equity/(Debt + Equity)  57.20%

Debt/(Debt + Equity)    42.80%

WACC                    11.19%

                           RECITALS

          A.     Seller owns and holds three hundred nine
thousand five hundred
(309,500) shares of common stock (the "Balboa Shares") of the Big
O Tires, Inc.,
a Nevada corporation ("Company"), par value ten cents ($.10) per
share, which
Balboa Shares represent approximately nine and two tenths percent
(9.2%) of all
the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Company.  

     B.     Purchaser has elected to participate in the possible
acquisition of
Company by and through an entity whose principals may (subject to
certain
conditions precedent, as shall hereinafter be set forth) be
comprised of certain
members of the Company's current senior management ("Big O
Management"), certain
participants in the Company's employee stock ownership plan ("Big
O ESOP"), and
Purchaser (collectively, the "Holding Company").  Purchaser is
required to make
an equity contribution to the Holding Company in exchange for the
issuance of
stock of the Holding Company.  In order to make such equity
contribution
Purchaser is intending to borrow funds from various sources
("Equity
Financing"), including acquiring shares of Company Stock by way
of giving a
secured promissory note to certain existing shareholders of the
Company and
rolling over such shares into the Holding Company.  In connection
with the
foregoing, Purchaser desires, upon the occurrence, fulfillment
and satisfaction
of certain conditions precedent as shall hereinafter be set
forth, to purchase
and acquire the Balboa Shares.  The Holding Company has entered
into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger with the Company, a copy of which is
attached
hereto as EXHIBIT A (the "Merger Agreement").

     C.     Each limited partner of Purchaser that owns one or
more duly
franchised Big O Tire Retail Stores (individually, a "Dealer,"
collectively,
"Dealers") is required to execute a purchase commitment agreement
with Company
whereby each such Dealer agrees to purchase a minimum number of
tire units from
Company for a six and one quarter (6.25) year period commencing
as of the date
of the consummation of the Merger pursuant to the Merger

                                      - 3 -
Agreement (the
"Purchase Commitment").  In connection therewith, during the term
of the
Purchase Commitment, each such Dealer is required to make a
mandatory additional
capital contribution to purchase equal to One Dollar ($1.00) for
each tire unit
purchased from Company (the "Tire Contribution").

     D.     Subject to the terms an conditions as shall
hereinafter be set
forth, Seller is willing to transfer and convey the Balboa Shares

account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the
resale or
distribution of any part thereof and that Seller has no present
intention of
selling, assigning, transferring, conveying or granting any
participation in or
otherwise distributing the Note.  Seller further acknowledges and
confirms that
it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or other
arrangement with
any person to sell, transfer, assign or grant participation to
any such person
or to any third party with respect to the Note.  

     2.15     Reliance Upon Seller's Representations.  Seller

Agreement with

exempt from
registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2)
thereof and that
the Purchaser's reliance on such exemption is predicated on
Seller's
representations as set forth herein.

transaction not
involving a public offering and that under such laws and
applicable regulations,
such securities may be sold without registration under the
Securities Act, only
in limited circumstances.  In this connection, Seller represents
that it is
familiar with Securities Exchange Commission Rule 144, as
promulgated by the
Commission under the Securities Act as such Rule 144 may be

time or any similar successor rule that may be promulgated by the
Commission,

Securities
Act.

such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
that it is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the acceptance of
the Note as
partial consideration for the Purchase Price.  Seller further

attributable to tax exempt income received, losses claimed as a
limited partner
in any limited partnership, deductions claimed for depletion,

DEALERS, L.P., a
California limited partnership ("Pledgor"),  BALBOA INVESTMENT
GROUP, L.P., a
_______________ limited partnership (the "Secured Party") and

                                  RECITALS

     A.     Pledgor is the maker under that certain promissory

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                 AGREEMENT

     In consideration of the foregoing recitals and agreements
and undertakings
set forth below, Secured Party and Pledgor agree as follows:

     1.     APPOINTMENT OF ESCROW HOLDER.  Pledgor and Secured

reasonable number
of stock powers substantially in the form set forth in EXHIBIT A
attached
hereto, executed in blank with respect thereto, which shares and

the terms and
provisions of this Agreement.  The Escrow Holder may, but need

Agreement.

     3.     OBLIGATIONS SECURED.  Pledgor agrees that the
security interest

     4.     WARRANTIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF PLEDGOR.  Pledgor
hereby affirms,
warrants, represents, covenants, and agrees as follows:

          4.1     Pledgor has full power and authority to execute
and deliver
and to perform and observe the provisions of this Agreement, and
to carry out
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.  The execution,
delivery and
performance by Pledgor of this Agreement have been duly
authorized by all
necessary corporate action required on its part.  This Agreement
will constitute
a legal, valid and binding obligation of Pledgor, enforceable
against Pledgor in
accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy and
other laws for
the relief of debtors.

          4.2     The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by
Pledgor will not result in a violation of its charter documents
or any mortgage,
deed of trust, indenture, material contract, instrument,
agreement, judgment,
decree, order, statute, law, rule or regulation to which Pledgor
is subject, or
be in conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with
due notice and/or
lapse of time or both) a default under any such mortgage, deed of
trust,
indenture, material contract, instrument or agreement, or result
in the creation
or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature
whatsoever upon
any of the respective properties or assets of Pledgor, except as
contemplated by
the provisions of this Agreement.

          4.3     Any consent, approval or authorization of or

which is required
in connection with the security interest granted under this
Agreement has been

          4.4     Pledgor shall pay, perform or otherwise satisfy
the Note, when
the same shall become due, whether by acceleration or otherwise.

          4.5     The Pledged Shares are owned by Pledgor, free
and clear of all

                                     - 32 -
liens, interests and encumbrances. 

     5.     WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS TO REMAIN IN EFFECT. 
Pledgor further
warrants to Secured Party, and covenants and agrees with Secured
Party, that all
of those warranties and representations and agreements set forth
in paragraph 4
hereof shall be in full force and effect until the Note has been
paid in full.

     6.     VOTING OF PLEDGED SHARES; DIVIDENDS.  So long as no
event of default
exists hereunder Pledgor shall be entitled to vote the Pledged
Shares in respect
of any matters of business not constituting violations of this
Agreement.  Upon
any default by Pledgor under the Note, Secured Party shall, in
addition to any
other remedies, be entitled at its option to vote all Pledged
Shares held by
Escrow Holder until such time as the default is cured by payment
of the amount
in default.  In connection therewith, Pledgor grants the Secured
Party an
irrevocable proxy to vote the Pledged Shares.  Such proxy is
coupled with an
interest and shall remain in full force and effect until such
time as the
obligation under the Note is paid in full.  All dividends
declared and paid on
the Pledged Shares during the existence of this Agreement shall

the Note.  Upon
any such default, Secured Party, in addition to any other
remedies available,
shall be entitled at its option to be paid and to retain all such
dividends pro
rata until such time as the default is cured.  

     7.     TERMINATION UPON FULL PAYMENT.  When all sums of
principal and
interest due under all of the notes in the Series have been paid,
all Pledged
Shares held by the Escrow Holder shall be delivered to Pledgor. 
Provided that,
the Pledged Shares shall be released by the Escrow Holder only
after written
notice from the Secured Party or such other holder of the Note
(or upon adequate
proof submitted by the Pledgor) that payment of principal and
interest has been
made in full.

     8.     EVENTS OF DEFAULT.  An event of default shall be
deemed to exist
hereunder at any time when:

            (a)     The Pledgor shall have failed to pay any
payment due under
the Note; or 

            (b)     The Pledgor shall have (i) adopted a plan of

reduction in the value
of the Pledged Shares; or (vi) caused or permitted the occurrence
of any event
or transaction which could reasonably be expected to have a
substantial
detrimental effect upon the value of the Pledged Shares. 

     Upon the existence of an act of default Secured Party, at
its option, may
by written notice to Pledgor declare the Note immediately due and
payable and
may proceed to enforce its rights under this Agreement, as well
as pursuing any
other remedies at law or in equity.

     9.     SALE OF PLEDGED STOCK ON DEFAULT/RETENTION.  In the

remedies therefor, Escrow Holder shall, subject to applicable
law, attempt to

If an event of
default is not cured within ten (10) days following written

     In the event of default hereunder and placement of this Note
in the hands

if this Note is
collected by suit or legal proceedings or through bankruptcy
proceedings, the
Maker agrees to pay in addition to all sums then due hereon,
including principal
and interest, all expenses of collection, including, without
limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees.

     The Maker and any and all sureties, guarantors and endorsers
of this Note
and all other parties now or hereafter liable hereon, severally
waive grace,
demand, presentment for payment, notice of dishonor, protest and
notice of
protest, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of

                                     - 39 -
acceleration, any other
notice and diligence in collecting and bringing suit against any
party hereto
and agree (i) to all extensions and partial payments, with or
without notice,
before or after maturity, (ii) to any substitution, exchange or
release of any
security now or hereafter given for this Note, (iii) to the
release of any party
primarily or secondarily liable hereon, and (iv) that it will not
be necessary
for the holder hereof, in order to enforce payment of this Note,
to first
institute or exhaust such holder's remedies against the Maker or
any other party
liable therefor or against any security for this Note.  No delay
on the part of
the Payee in exercising any power or right under this Note shall
operate as a
waiver of such power or right, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any
power or right preclude further exercise of that power or right.

     All agreements between the Maker and the holder hereof,
whether now
existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are
hereby expressly
limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by
reason of
acceleration of the maturity hereof or otherwise, shall the
amount paid, or
agreed to be paid, to the holder hereof for the use, forbearance
or detention of
the funds advanced pursuant to this Note, or otherwise, or for
the payment of
performance of any covenant or obligation contained herein or in
any other
document or instrument evidencing, securing or pertaining to this
Note exceed
the maximum amount permissible under applicable law.  If from any
circumstances
whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof or any other
document or
instrument described by law, then ipso facto, the obligation to
be fulfilled
shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any
such
circumstances the holder hereof shall ever receive anything of
value deemed
interest by applicable law, which would exceed interest at the
highest lawful
rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be
applied to the
reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note or on
account of any
other principal indebtedness of the Maker to the holder hereof,
and not to the
payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the
unpaid principal
balance of this Note and such other indebtedness, such excess
shall be refunded
to the Maker.  All sums paid, or agreed to be paid, by the Maker
for the use,
forbearance or detention of the indebtedness of the Maker to the

                                     - 40 -
holder of this
Note shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
amortized, prorated,
allocated and spread throughout the full term of such
indebtedness until payment
in full so that the actual rate of interest on account of such
indebtedness is
uniform throughout the term hereof.  The terms and provisions of
this paragraph
shall control and supersede every other provision of all
agreements between the
Maker and the holder hereof.

     This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of
the State of California, and shall be deemed to have been
executed and delivered
in the State of California.

     All references to the Maker herein shall, and shall be
deemed to, include
its successors and assigns, and all covenants, stipulations,
promises and
agreements contained herein by or on behalf of the Maker shall be
binding upon
its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Note has been duly executed and
delivered by Maker
as of the date first above written.

___________________________________________________________
("Seller"),
and Big O Dealers, L.P., a California limited partnership to be
formed
("Purchaser").

                              RECITALS

     A.     Seller owns and holds
________________________________________
(_______) shares of common stock (the "Shares") of the Big O
Tires, Inc., a
Nevada corporation ("Company"), par value ten cents ($.10) per
share, which
Shares represent approximately ____________________ percent

     B.     Purchaser has elected to participate in the possible
acquisition of
Company by and through an entity whose principals may (subject to
certain
conditions precedent, as shall hereinafter be set forth) be
comprised of certain
members of the Company's current senior management ("Big O
Management"), certain
participants in the Company's employee stock ownership plan ("Big
O ESOP"), and
Purchaser (collectively, the "Holding Company").  Purchaser is
required to make
an equity contribution to the Holding Company in exchange for the
issuance of
shares of stock of the Holding Company.  In order to make such

Company and rolling over such shares of Company stock into the
Holding Company. 
In connection with the foregoing, Purchaser desires, upon the
occurrence,
fulfillment and satisfaction of certain conditions precedent as
shall
hereinafter be set forth, to purchase and acquire the Shares. 
The Holding
Company has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with the
Company a copy
of which attached hereto as EXHIBIT A (the "Merger Agreement").

more duly
franchised Big O Tire retail store (a "Dealer") is required to

purchase commitment agreement with the Company whereby each such
Dealer agrees

                                      - 4 -
to purchase a minimum number of tire units from the Company for a
six and one
quarter (6.25) year period commencing as of the date of the
consummation of the
Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the "Purchase
Commitment").  In
connection therewith, during the term of the Purchase Commitment,
each such
Dealer is required to make a mandatory additional capital
contribution to
purchase equal to One Dollar ($1.00) for each tire unit purchased
from Company
(the "Tire Contribution").

     D.     Subject to the terms an conditions as shall
hereinafter be set
forth, Seller is willing to transfer and convey the Shares to
Purchaser.  

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

                           AGREEMENT

I.     PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES.

     1.1     AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE AND SELL.  On the "Closing
Date" (as defined
in SECTION 1.2 below), and upon the terms and subject to each and
every
condition precedent set forth in this Agreement, Seller shall
sell, assign,
transfer, convey and deliver the Shares to Purchaser or its
designee and
Purchaser shall purchase, acquire and accept the Shares from
Seller.  

     1.2     Seller and Purchaser intend that the "Closing Date"

                              Englewood, Colorado  80111

To Our Stockholders:

     You are invited to attend the Special Meeting of Stockholders of Big O
Tires, Inc. (the "Company") to be held at _________________________________, on
___________, 1996, at ___:___ _.m., Mountain Standard Time.  At the Special
Meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 24, 1995, as amended (the "Merger
Agreement"), by and among the Company, BOTI Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation
(the "Parent"), and BOTI Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-
owned subsidiary of the Parent (the "Purchaser"), and the transactions
contemplated thereby.  The Parent and the Purchaser were formed by certain
members of the Company's senior management and some of the Company's franchised
dealers to acquire the Company.  The Merger Agreement is included in the
accompanying Proxy Statement as APPENDIX A.  Pursuant to the terms of the Merger
Agreement, Purchaser will merge with and into the Company, with the Company
remaining as the surviving corporation (the "Merger").  The result of the Merger
will be that the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent and
each outstanding share (except for certain "Excluded Shares," as defined in the
accompanying Proxy Statement) of the Company's common stock, par value $0.10 per
share (the "Common Stock"), will be converted into the right to receive a cash
payment of $16.50, without interest (the "Merger Consideration").  The Merger
Consideration includes $0.01 per share for the redemption of rights issued
pursuant to the Company's Rights Agreement dated as of August 26, 1994. 
Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain conditions, including, without
limitation, the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement by holders of at
least a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

     The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"), based on the unanimous
recommendation of the Investment Committee of the Board (the "Investment
Committee"), which consisted only of directors who were neither employees of the
Company nor franchised dealers participating in the acquisition, has determined
that the Merger is fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its
stockholders and has approved the Merger Agreement.  The Board recommends that
you vote "FOR" approval of the Merger Agreement.  PaineWebber Incorporated
("PaineWebber"), the financial advisor to the Investment Committee in connection
with the Merger, has rendered a written opinion to the Board to the effect that
the Merger Consideration is fair from a financial point of view to the holders
of the Common Stock (other than holders of Excluded Shares).  You are urged to
read the Proxy Statement in its entirety for important information regarding the
Merger.

     IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU BE REPRESENTED AT THE SPECIAL MEETING, EVEN
IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND IN PERSON.  THE AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF AT LEAST A
MAJORITY OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE THE
MERGER.  CONSEQUENTLY, THE FAILURE TO RETURN A PROPERLY EXECUTED PROXY CARD OR
TO VOTE IN PERSON AT THE SPECIAL MEETING WILL HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS A VOTE
AGAINST THE MERGER.  IF INSTRUCTIONS ARE SPECIFIED ON A PROXY CARD, SUCH PROXY
CARD WILL BE VOTED IN ACCORDANCE THEREWITH, AND IF NO SPECIFICATIONS ARE MADE,
SUCH PROXY CARD WILL BE VOTED FOR THE MERGER AGREEMENT.  PLEASE TAKE TIME TO
CONSIDER AND VOTE UPON THIS SIGNIFICANT MATTER.

     Please mark, sign and date each proxy card you receive and return it
promptly in the enclosed, postage-paid envelope even if you plan to attend the
Special Meeting in person.   Returning a marked proxy card will not prevent you
from voting in person at the Special Meeting, but will assure that your vote is
counted if you are unable to attend.  If you wish to attend the Special Meeting
in person, you will need to present proof of your ownership of shares of Common
Stock.  If you hold your shares through a bank, broker or other nominee, you
must obtain evidence of ownership from such nominee prior to your attendance at
the Special Meeting.  

     DO NOT SEND IN YOUR STOCK CERTIFICATES AT THIS TIME.  YOU WILL RECEIVE
INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING EXCHANGING YOUR COMMON STOCK FOR THE MERGER CONSIDERATION
AFTER THE SPECIAL MEETING.

     THIS TRANSACTION HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE FAIRNESS OR MERITS OF
SUCH TRANSACTION NOR UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED
IN THIS DOCUMENT.  ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL.

                         Sincerely,

a part, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser will merge with and into

Company's Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive a cash
payment of $16.50, without interest (the "Merger Consideration").  The Merger
Consideration includes $0.01 per share for the redemption of rights issued
pursuant to the Company's Rights Agreement dated as of August 26, 1994. 
Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain conditions, including, without
limitation, the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement by holders of at

                              Englewood, Colorado 80111

                                   PROXY STATEMENT
                             ___________________________

                                     INTRODUCTION

     This proxy statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation
of proxies by the Board of Directors ( the "Board") of Big O Tires, Inc. (the
"Company") to be used at the Special Meeting of Stockholders (the "Special
Meeting") to be held at __________________________________________, on
______________, 1996, at __:__.m., Mountain Standard Time, and at any
adjournment or postponement thereof.

     The purpose of the Special Meeting is to consider and vote upon a proposal
to approve an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of July 24, 1995, as
amended, (the "Merger Agreement") by and among the Company, BOTI Holdings, Inc.,
a Nevada corporation (the "Parent"), and BOTI Acquisition Corp., a Nevada
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent (the "Purchaser"), and
the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and such other business as
lawfully may come before the Special Meeting.

     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser will merge into and with
the Company (the "Merger"), with the Company remaining as the surviving
corporation.  As more fully described herein under "The Merger Agreement," the
result of the Merger will be that the Company will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Parent and each issued and outstanding share of common stock
of the Company, par value $0.10 per share (the "Common Stock"), except certain
Excluded Shares described herein, will be converted into the right to receive a
cash payment of $16.50, without interest (the "Merger Consideration").  The
Merger Consideration includes $0.01 per share for the redemption of rights
issued pursuant to the Company's Rights Agreement dated as of August 26, 1994
(the "Rights").

     A group comprised of certain of the franchised dealers of the Company (the
"Dealers") and certain members of senior management of the Company ("Senior
Management") will utilize the Parent and the Purchaser for the purpose of
effecting the Merger.  Those Dealers who have indicated that they will
participate in the acquisition and Senior Management are hereinafter sometimes
collectively referred to as the "Dealer Management Group."  See "Directors and
Executive Officers of the Company" and "Information Pertaining to the Parent,
the Purchaser and Related Persons."

     THE BOARD, AND THE INVESTMENT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD (THE "INVESTMENT
COMMITTEE"), BOTH RECOMMEND THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE MERGER
AGREEMENT.  The Board believes that the Merger presents an opportunity to
maximize shareholder value.  The Merger will allow the Company's stockholders to
receive a cash price representing a premium over the market prices of the Common
Stock prevailing prior to the July 24, 1995, announcement of the signing of the
Merger Agreement and over the approximately $11.20 per share book value of the
Company on September 30, 1995.  PaineWebber Incorporated ("PaineWebber"), the
financial advisor to the Investment Committee in connection with the Merger, has
rendered its opinion to the Board to the effect that, as of the date of such
opinion, the Merger Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to
the holders of the Common Stock (other than holders of Excluded Shares).  The
Board also considered the other matters discussed herein under "Special
Factors."

     The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Common Stock
outstanding on ______________, 1995 (the "Record Date") is required for approval
of the Merger Agreement.  Only holders of record of shares of Common Stock on
the Record Date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting
and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

     You are requested to sign and date the accompanying proxy card and promptly
return it to the Company in the enclosed postage-paid, addressed envelope, even
if you plan to attend the Special Meeting.  Failure to return a properly
executed proxy card or to vote at the Special Meeting will have the same effect
as a vote against the Merger.

     DO NOT FORWARD ANY STOCK CERTIFICATES AT THIS TIME.  YOU WILL RECEIVE
INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING EXCHANGING YOUR COMMON STOCK FOR THE MERGER CONSIDERATION
AFTER THE SPECIAL MEETING.
     
     The enclosed proxy card, the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting of
Stockholders and this Proxy Statement are being mailed to stockholders of the
Company on or about __________________, 1995.

                                       SUMMARY

     The following is a brief summary of information included elsewhere in this
Proxy Statement. The summary is necessarily incomplete and is qualified in its
entirety by the more detailed information in this Proxy Statement, its
Appendices and the documents incorporated by reference and referred to in this
Proxy Statement.  Capitalized terms used and not defined in the summary have the
meanings as defined elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.

     YOU SHOULD READ THE ENTIRE PROXY STATEMENT AND THE APPENDICES PRIOR TO
TAKING ANY ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THE MERGER PROPOSAL.

GENERAL INFORMATION

     This Proxy Statement relates to the proposed merger of the Purchaser with
and into the Company pursuant to the Merger Agreement by and among the Company,
the Parent and the Purchaser.  The result of the Merger will be that each holder
of Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) will receive $16.50 per share in
exchange for such Common Stock.

THE PARTIES

     BIG O TIRES, INC., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), is engaged
primarily in the business of franchising Big O Tire retail stores (the "Retail
Stores") and supplying Retail Stores with tires and related automotive products
for sale.  The Company also owns and operates Retail Stores and, on a limited
basis, engages in site selection and real estate development for Retail Stores. 
The mailing address of the Company's principal executive offices and corporate
headquarters is 11755 East Peakview Avenue, Suite A, Englewood, Colorado 80111
and its telephone number is (303) 790-2800.

     BOTI HOLDINGS, INC., a Nevada corporation (the "Parent"), is a holding
company organized in January 1995 to participate in the Merger and to acquire
all of the capital stock of the Company.  See "Information Pertaining to the
Parent, the Purchaser and Related Persons."   The Parent has engaged in no other
business activities since its inception other than those related to the
acquisition of the Company.  The mailing address of the principal executive
offices of both the Parent and the Purchaser is the same as the Company's
address, 11755 East Peakview Avenue, Suite A, Englewood, Colorado 80111, and
their telephone number is (303) 790-2800.

     BOTI ACQUISITION CORP., a Nevada corporation (the "Purchaser"), has been
organized as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent for the purpose of
effecting the Merger and has engaged in no other business activities other than
those related to the acquisition of the Company.  See "Information Pertaining to
the Parent, the Purchaser and Related Persons."

THE DATE AND PLACE OF THE SPECIAL MEETING

     The Special Meeting is to be held at ________________________________, on
______________, 1996, at __:__.m., Mountain Standard Time.  At the Special
Meeting and at any adjournment or postponement thereof, the stockholders of the
Company will be asked to consider and vote upon the proposal to approve the
Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

     RECORD DATE; REQUIRED VOTE.  As of ____________, 1995, the Record Date,
_________ shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding, each of which is
entitled to one vote on each matter to be acted upon at the Special Meeting. 
Only stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be
entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting.  The presence of a majority of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock will constitute a quorum for purposes of
the Special Meeting.  The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date is required for approval of the
Merger Agreement.

     The failure to return a properly executed proxy card, to vote in person at
the Special Meeting or, with respect to shares held of record by a broker or
other nominee, to provide such broker or nominee with voting instructions
(resulting in a broker non-vote) or abstaining from voting, will have the same
effect as a vote against the Merger.  Proxies may be revoked, subject to the
procedures described herein, at any time up to and including the date of the
Special Meeting.  See "The Special Meeting -- Vote Required to Approve the
Merger."

NO APPRAISAL OR DISSENTER'S RIGHTS

     Stockholders do not have appraisal or dissenter's rights in connection with
the Merger under Nevada law.  Consequently, if the Merger is consummated, their
shares of Common Stock will be canceled and they will be required to accept the
Merger Consideration.  See "The Special Meeting -- Absence of Appraisal Rights
and Right to Dissent."

THE MERGER

     The Company, the Parent and the Purchaser have entered into the Merger
Agreement whereby the Purchaser will merge with and into the Company.  The
Company will remain as the surviving corporation.  The result of the Merger will
be that the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent.  With
the exception of shares of Common Stock held by Senior Management, shares of
Common Stock held by the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP")
that are converted into securities of the Parent, and any shares of Common Stock
held by or under contract to be acquired by the Parent, the Purchaser or the
Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof or any stockholder of the
Parent or the Purchaser (collectively the "Excluded Shares") which either shall
be canceled or converted into common stock of the Parent as described below,
each share of Common Stock will be canceled and converted into the right to
receive the Merger Consideration.  Each issued and outstanding share of the
Purchaser will be converted into one share of Common Stock of the Company at the
Effective Time (as defined below), the separate corporate existence of the
Purchaser will cease and the name of the Company will remain "Big O Tires, Inc."

     At the Effective Time each option to purchase shares of Common Stock held
by holders who are directors of the Company, except options held by Messrs.
Steven P. Cloward and John B. Adams (see "Information Pertaining to the Parent,
the Purchaser and Related Persons"), and, except as stated below, options held
by current and former employees of the Company who are not members of Senior
Management or directors of the Company, will be canceled.  Each holder thereof
will be entitled to receive, in lieu of each share which such holder otherwise
would have received upon exercise of the option, cash equal to the extent (if
any) by which $16.50 exceeds the exercise price per share payable pursuant to
such option or such lower amount as is provided for in the plan pursuant to
which the option was granted.  However, if the holder has agreed to convert or
exchange the options for securities of the Parent, no payment will be made upon
cancellation of the options.  All of the Company's stock option, stock
appreciation or compensation plans or arrangements will be terminated as of the
Effective Time.  See "The Merger Agreement -- Stock Options."

     The effectiveness of the Merger is conditioned upon the satisfaction or
waiver of certain conditions.  The conditions that have not yet been satisfied
or waived, include, without limitation, approval of the Merger by the holders of
a majority of the outstanding Common Stock (which is being sought pursuant to
this Proxy Statement) and the conversion of at least 80% of the shares of the
Common Stock held by the ESOP into the common stock of the Parent.  If the
Merger is approved by the requisite vote of the Company's stockholders, and all
remaining conditions are satisfied or waived, the Merger will become effective
upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the
State of Nevada (the "Effective Time").  If the Merger is approved, the Company
expects to file the Certificate of Merger on or shortly after the date of the
Special Meeting.  See "The Merger Agreement -- Description of the Merger
Agreement."

EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

     Upon consummation of the Merger, each share of Common Stock owned by the
stockholders of the Company, other than Excluded Shares, will be canceled and
converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.  See "The Merger
Agreement" and APPENDIX A.  If the Merger is consummated, the stockholders of
the Company will be required to surrender their stock certificates in proper
form as a condition to receipt of payment.  Stock certificates should not be
surrendered with the proxies.  Promptly after the Merger occurs, a transmittal
letter with instructions will be sent to stockholders to be used by them to
surrender their share certificates.  See "The Merger Agreement -- Exchange of
Certificates."

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE MERGER

     THE BOARD AND THE INVESTMENT COMMITTEE RECOMMEND THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE
FOR THE MERGER.  The Board and the Investment Committee base their
recommendation on the following factors:  (a) the terms and conditions of the
Merger Agreement that were determined by arms length negotiations between the
parties; (b) the assets, obligations, operations, earnings and prospects of the
Company and of the retail tire and automotive products industry generally; (c)
recent market prices for the Common Stock, recent trading activity and the fact
that the Merger Consideration to be paid to stockholders represents a premium
over the $14.375 closing sale price of the Common Stock on July 20, 1995, the
day prior to the Board's approval of the Merger Agreement, and over the $11.03
per share book value of the Company on June 30, 1995; (d) a comparison of the
approximately $11.20 per share book value of the Company on September 30, 1995,
to the Merger Consideration; (e) the results of their market testing to
determine whether there were other buyers for the Company; (f) a review of
possible alternatives to the sale of the Company, including continuing to
operate the Company as a publicly-owned entity and the recent attempts to locate
an alternate buyer; and (g) the written opinion of PaineWebber to the effect
that, as of the date thereof, the Merger Consideration was fair, from a
financial point of view, to the holders of Common Stock (other than holders of
Excluded Shares).  See "Special Factors."

OPINION OF FINANCIAL ADVISOR

     PaineWebber has acted as financial advisor to the Company in connection
with the Merger.  PaineWebber assisted the Investment Committee in its
negotiation of the terms of the Merger Agreement and assisted the Board in its
examination of the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of
Common Stock (other than holders of Excluded Shares) of the Merger
Consideration.  PaineWebber has delivered a written opinion stating that, as of
the date thereof, the Merger Consideration was fair, from a financial point of
view, to the holders of Common Stock (other than holders of Excluded Shares). 
The full text of the written opinion of PaineWebber, which sets forth the
assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the
review undertaken, is attached as APPENDIX B to this Proxy Statement. 
STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY ARE URGED TO READ SUCH OPINION CAREFULLY IN ITS
ENTIRETY.  See "Special Factors -- Opinion of Financial Advisor."

Opinion of Financial Advisor to the ESOP

     The Merger Agreement also requires that the financial advisor to the ESOP
deliver an opinion that the consideration to be received by the participants in
the ESOP who elect to convert the Common Stock allocated to their accounts in
the ESOP into an investment in the common stock of the Parent, is fair from a
financial point of view to such participants.  On ________,  George K. Baum &
Company delivered its written opinion to the ESOP stating that the consideration
to be provided pursuant to such conversion is fair to the ESOP participants from
a financial point of view.  See "Special Factors."

PURPOSES AND REASONS FOR THE MERGER

     The Company's purpose and reason for the Merger are to allow the
stockholders of the Company to sell their shares in the Company at a price that
the Investment Committee and Board believe is fair to and in the best interest
of such stockholders.  After a stockholder proposal that recommended that the
Board engage the services of a nationally recognized investment banker to
explore all alternatives to enhance the values of the Company was approved in
June 1994, the Company began immediately considering various alternatives to
enhance stockholder value.  The timing of the Merger has been determined based
on the time required to review various alternatives to enhance stockholder value
for the Company, to solicit indications from persons who might be interested in
acquiring the Company, to negotiate the terms of the Merger Agreement, to allow
the Dealer Management Group to obtain financing, and to obtain the requisite
stockholder and other approvals.

     The Parent is engaging in the Merger in order to concentrate the ownership
of the Company in those parties who will be actively engaged in its operation,
will have a long-term perspective and will be highly motivated toward the
building of a successful operation.  The Parent's desire to effect the Merger is
based upon the expected realization of the Merger benefits described in the
following paragraph.  Having identified those expected benefits of the Merger,
the Parent believes that the achievement of those benefits should be pursued at
the present time because the Company's Investment Committee has for
approximately 18 months been exploring strategic alternatives which, if
accomplished, would either make the acquisition of the Company by the Parent
impossible or unattractive.

     The Parent believes that the Company, which will be a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Parent after the Merger, will benefit from the Merger because
(i) the Company's management will be free to devote itself to building long-term
values for the Company without concern that such efforts may adversely affect
short-term results and the market price for the Common Stock; (ii) the Merger
will eliminate the need for the Company to comply with the reporting
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), to
maintain its current listing on the NASDAQ National Market System, and to
continue an investor relations program, the aggregate cost of which the Company
estimates amounts to approximately $190,000 annually (primarily consisting of
the preparation of the annual report to stockholders, accounting and legal fees
and investor program costs); (iii) the Company will be able to pursue the common
goals of the Dealers and the Company's employees; and (iv) the ownership of the
Company will be concentrated in those parties who will be actively engaged in
its operation, will have a long-term perspective and will be highly motivated
toward the building of a successful operation.

     The form of the Merger was selected by the Parent to accomplish in a single
step its acquisition of the outstanding shares of Common Stock not already owned
by the Parent's stockholders.  That structure was deemed preferable to a tender
offer, which probably would have resulted in less than 100% ownership by the
Parent unless followed by a subsequent merger.  The Parent offered cash
consideration in the Merger because this was the only method which would
accomplish the goal of eliminating public ownership and establishing the desired
unification of the owners and operators of the Company.

PLANS FOR THE COMPANY AFTER THE MERGER

     The Parent expects to continue the business and operations of the Company
substantially as they are currently being conducted by the Company and its
subsidiaries.  However, the Dealer Management Group will continue to evaluate
the business and operations of the Company and will make such changes as are
deemed appropriate.

     The Parent is exploring ways to raise cash for working capital and other
general corporate purposes in addition to the financing sources discussed under
the heading "Financing of the Merger".  Although no agreement or arrangement has
been entered into with respect to any transaction, the types of transactions
under consideration by the Parent include the sale of certain parcels of
undeveloped real property adjacent to certain of the Company's regional service
center locations and certain Retail Store sites.  There can be no assurance that
an agreement with respect to any transaction will be reached or, if reached,
that any such transaction will be consummated.  It is anticipated that the
Company will not pay any cash dividends on its securities after the Merger.

     Except for the possible merger or liquidation of several subsidiaries of
the Company into the Company, the Parent does not have any present plans or
proposals which relate to or would result in an extraordinary corporate
transaction, such as a merger, reorganization, liquidation, relocation of any
operations of the Company or any changes in the Company's present
capitalization, corporate structure or business or, except as described above,
the sale or transfer of a material amount of assets involving the Company or any
of its subsidiaries or the composition of the Company's management.  The Parent
will from time to time be reviewing additional information and reviewing
possible options with respect to the Company and may propose or develop
additional or new plans or proposals or may propose the acquisition or
disposition of assets or other changes in the Company's business, corporate
structure, capitalization, management or dividend policy.

     It is also anticipated that the officers (other than Messrs. Siipola and
Mehlfeldt) and most key employees of the Company will continue as employees of
the Company after the Merger.  Those officers who are shareholders of the Parent
(other than solely as a result of their participation in the ESOP) will be
compensated at substantially the levels of compensation they received in 1995,
with the exception of Mr. Cloward, whose compensation will revert in 1996 to the
level he was receiving as of January 1, 1995, and with the exception of Ms.
O'Reilly, whose 1996 compensation will be based on her compensation level in
1995.  It is expected that in most situations such persons will have
substantially equivalent positions with the Company.  In connection with the
consummation of the Merger, Messrs. Siipola and Mehlfeldt will not continue as
employees, officers, nor directors of the Company.  The Merger Agreement
provides that the board of directors of the Purchaser will become the board of
directors of the Company at the Effective Time.

INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE MERGER

     Certain members of Senior Management are stockholders, officers and/or
directors of the Parent and, in conjunction with others in the Dealer Management
Group, are expected to be involved in the management and operation of the
Company following the Merger.  Certain of these persons, by virtue of their
roles as directors of the Company, will, along with all other current directors
of the Company, be entitled to certain indemnification rights under the Merger
Agreement.  Consequently, as to such indemnification rights and their
participation in the Parent, their interests may be deemed to be separate from
or adverse to the interests of the remaining stockholders.  As of the Record
Date, Senior Management held of record ________ shares of Common Stock or ____%
of the issued and outstanding Common Stock.  It is expected that the shares of
Common Stock owned by these members of Senior Management will be voted in favor
of the Merger.  See "Information Pertaining to the Parent, the Purchaser and
Related Persons" and "The Merger Agreement."

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF THE MERGER

     The Merger will be treated, for financial statement purposes, as a sale by
the Company's stockholders to Parent for cash.  Accordingly, no gain or loss
will be recognized by the Company as a result of the Merger.  The Merger will be
accounted for by the Parent as a purchase.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

     The receipt of cash by a stockholder of the Company pursuant to the Merger
Agreement will be a taxable transaction to such stockholder for federal income
tax purposes and may also be a taxable transaction under applicable state, local
or other laws.  Each stockholder is urged to consult his or her own tax advisor
as to the particular tax consequences to such stockholder.  See "Special Factors
- -- Federal Income Tax Consequences."

Agreement providing for the Merger of Purchaser into the Company at
consideration of $16.50 per share of Common Stock, the closing sale prices of
the shares of Common Stock (as reported on the NASDAQ National Market System)
were $13.75, $14.25, and $14.375, respectively.  The closing sale price of the
shares of Common Stock (as reported on the NASDAQ National Market System) was
$____________ on _________________, 1995.

     The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its shares of Common

                                 THE SPECIAL MEETING

GENERAL

     This Proxy Statement is being furnished to holders of the Company's Common
Stock in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Company's Board of
Directors for use at the Special Meeting to be held at
_______________________________________________, on ______________, 1996, at
_____ __.m., Mountain Standard Time, and at any adjournment or postponement
thereof.

     At the Special Meeting, holders of the Company's Common Stock will consider
and vote upon a proposal to merge the Purchaser with and into the Company
pursuant to the Merger Agreement.  The result of the Merger will be that each
holder of Common Stock (other than the Excluded Shares) will receive $16.50 per
share in exchange for such Common Stock.

     Information contained in this Proxy Statement with respect to the Parent,
the Purchaser, and plans for the Company after the consummation of the Merger
has been provided by the Parent.  All other information contained herein has
been provided by the Company.

RECORD DATE AND VOTING

     The Record Date for determination of the Company's stockholders entitled to
notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting has been fixed as the close of
business on ________________, 1995.  Accordingly, only holders of record of
shares of Common Stock on the Record Date will be entitled to notice of and to
vote at the Special Meeting.  As of the Record Date, the outstanding voting
securities of the Company consisted of _________ shares of Common Stock that
were held of record by _____ holders.  Each stockholder of record as of the
Record Date is entitled to one vote on each matter for each share then held. 
The holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock
attending the meeting in person or by proxy will constitute a quorum for the
conduct of business at the Special Meeting, and all adjournments and
postponements thereof, notwithstanding that less than a quorum may remain after
commencement of the Special Meeting.

VOTE REQUIRED TO APPROVE THE MERGER

     The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Common Stock
outstanding on the Record Date is required for approval of the Merger Agreement.
Consequently, the failure to return a properly executed proxy card or to vote in
person at the Special Meeting will have the same effect as a vote against the
Merger.  Similarly, abstentions and "broker non-votes" (referring to instances
where a broker or other nominee physically indicates on the proxy that, because
it has not received instructions from beneficial owners, it does not have
discretionary authority as to certain shares of Common Stock to vote on the
Merger) will have the same effect as a vote against the Merger.  The proxies
named in the enclosed proxy card may, at the direction of the Board, vote to
adjourn or postpone the Special Meeting to another time or place for the purpose
of soliciting additional proxies necessary for approval of the Merger.

PROXY INFORMATION; REVOCATION

     Any stockholder has the power to revoke his or her proxy before its
exercise at the Special Meeting or any adjournment or postponement by (1) giving
written notice of such revocation to the Assistant Secretary of the Company,
Susan D. Hendee, 11755 East Peakview Avenue, Suite A, Englewood, Colorado 
80111, prior to the Special Meeting; (2) giving written notice of such
revocation to the Assistant Secretary of the Company at the Special Meeting; or
(3) signing and delivering a proxy bearing a later date.  The dates contained on
the forms of proxy presumptively determine the order of execution, regardless of
the postmark dates on the envelopes in which they are mailed.  The mere presence
at the Special Meeting of a stockholder who has executed and delivered a valid
proxy will not revoke such proxy.  The powers of the proxyholders with respect
to the shares of a particular stockholder will be suspended if the stockholder
executing the proxy is present at the Special Meeting and elects to vote in
person.  Subject to such revocation or suspension, each properly executed proxy
received by the proxyholders will be voted at the Special Meeting (whether or
not instructions are specified thereon).  If instructions are specified thereon,
such proxy will be voted in accordance therewith, and if no specifications are
made, such proxy will be voted for the Merger Agreement.

ABSENCE OF APPRAISAL RIGHTS AND RIGHT TO DISSENT

     The Nevada General Corporation Law generally provides that a stockholder is
entitled to dissent from a merger and obtain payment of the fair value of such
stockholder's shares of stock in the event of merger to which the corporation,
in which the stockholder holds shares, is a party.  However, there is no right
of dissent under the Nevada General Corporation Law with respect to a plan of
merger of a corporation the shares of any class of stock of which on the record
date were listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national
market system security on an interdealer quotation system operated by the
National Association of Securities Dealers Inc. ("NASDAQ") unless the
stockholders will receive anything except cash and/or shares of the surviving
corporation in exchange for their shares.  Because the Common Stock is quoted on
the NASDAQ National Market System and because of the composition of the Merger
Consideration, stockholders of the Company have no right to dissent upon
consummation of the Merger.  Accordingly, if the Merger is consummated,
stockholders will have their rights as stockholders terminated and their shares
will be canceled and, except for stockholders holding Excluded Shares, will have
only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in exchange for such canceled
shares.

PROXY SOLICITATION

     The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company.  The Company
may request brokers, fiduciaries, custodians and nominees to send proxies, proxy
statements and other material to their principals at the expense of the Company.
In addition, directors, officers or other employees of the Company may, without
additional compensation therefor, solicit proxies in person or by telephone.

                                   SPECIAL FACTORS

THE MERGER

     The Company has entered into the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is
attached as APPENDIX A to this Proxy Statement, with the Parent and the
Purchaser.  Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser will
merge with and into the Company with the Company continuing as the surviving
corporation.  Upon consummation of the Merger, each outstanding share of Common
Stock (other than Excluded Shares) will be converted into the right to receive,
upon surrender of such share of Common Stock, the Merger Consideration. 
Stockholders do not have any appraisal or dissenters rights under Nevada law. 
See "The Special Meeting -- Absence of Appraisal Rights and Right to Dissent"
and "The Merger Agreement."   At the same time, each share of the outstanding
common stock of the Purchaser, all of which is owned by the Parent, will be
converted into one share of Common Stock of the Company.  Thus, after the
Merger, all of the then outstanding Common Stock of the Company will be owned by
the Parent.

BACKGROUND AND NEGOTIATIONS REGARDING THE MERGER

     PRELIMINARY NOTE.  Because of the close working relationship among Senior
Management, the Dealers and certain members of the Board, there were many
incidental conversations between representatives of Purchaser and
representatives of the Company relating to the Merger Agreement, often
coincidental to other conversations on business matters unrelated to the Merger.
The following discussion describes significant events during the negotiation of
the Merger Agreement and material issues discussed during the negotiation of its
terms.

     SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL.  By letter dated December 20, 1993, Kenneth W. Pavia,
Sr., general partner of Balboa Investment Group, L.P. ("Balboa") which reported
that it then owned approximately 9.6% of the outstanding Common Stock, advised
the Company that he intended to introduce a proposal at the Company's 1994
Annual Shareholders' Meeting.  The Company's management had several discussions
with Mr. Pavia concerning various aspects of Company operations and membership
of its Board during the several months before the Company received Mr. Pavia's
proposal.  At his request, the following resolution (the "Shareholder Proposal")
and a supporting statement were included in the Company's proxy statement for
its 1994 Annual Meeting of Shareholders ("Annual Meeting").

               "RESOLVED:  That the shareholders of the Company recommend
          and deem it desirable and in their best interest that the Board
          of Directors immediately engage the services of a nationally
          recognized investment banker to explore all alternatives to
          enhance the values of the Company.  Those alternatives should
          include, but not be limited to, the possible sale, merger, or go-
          private transaction involving the Company, or the return to
          conducting business as a cooperative."

      The Company included in its proxy statement a statement in opposition to
the Shareholder Proposal.  At the Company's Annual Meeting held on June 8, 1994,
the Shareholder Proposal received the approval of holders of approximately 46%
of the then outstanding Common Stock.  Approximately 38% of the then outstanding
Common Stock was voted against the Shareholder Proposal.

     THE INVESTMENT COMMITTEE.  Immediately following the Annual Meeting, the
directors of the Company who were not then employees of the Company met to form
the Investment Committee to begin the process of implementing the Shareholder
Proposal, including engaging an investment banking firm as provided in the
proposal.  The Investment Committee consisted of Messrs. Carney, Johnston,
Mehlfeldt, Siipola, Weiger, and Wernholm, all of whom currently are and at that
time were directors of the Company and none of whom were employees of the
Company or owners of interests in franchised Retail Stores.  Mr. Asher, a
director of the Company who owns an interest in a company that owns franchised
Retail Stores, was invited to participate as a non-voting member of the
Investment Committee.

     In the ensuing 12 days, the members of the Investment Committee contacted
or were contacted by approximately 25 investment banking firms and merchant
banking firms to discuss providing assistance to the Company in implementing the
Shareholder Proposal.  The Investment Committee met on June 20, 1994, to review
informal proposals received from three investment banking firms.  At the
meeting, the Investment Committee determined to request formal presentations
from three investment banking firms and to request one additional firm to submit
information concerning its services.

     On June 29, 1994, the Investment Committee met and heard presentations from
four investment banking firms, Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corp.,
Kidder, Peabody & Co. Incorporated, PaineWebber, and Bear, Stearns & Co., Inc.

     The Investment Committee met again on July 1, 1994, and selected
PaineWebber as the investment banker to advise the Investment Committee with
respect to carrying out the Shareholder Proposal.  On July 5, 1994, the Company
issued a press release regarding the selection of PaineWebber and advised Mr.
Pavia of the selection of PaineWebber.

     The Investment Committee met on July 13, 1994, with Steven P. Cloward,
President and then Chief Executive Officer, John B. Adams, Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer, Philip J. Teigen, General Counsel and
Secretary, and Susan D. Hendee, Assistant Counsel and Assistant Secretary of the
Company, together with representatives of PaineWebber.  At that meeting the
Investment Committee discussed the process by which PaineWebber would work with
the Investment Committee to analyze alternatives for enhancing the value of the
Company, how PaineWebber would conduct due diligence with respect to the Company
and other organizational matters relating to facilitating PaineWebber's
preparation of a report to the Investment Committee.

     The Investment Committee, Mr. Adams, Mr. Cloward and Ms. Hendee met again
on July 27, 1994, with representatives of PaineWebber to hear a progress report
from PaineWebber with respect to its work.  PaineWebber advised that it was
preparing financial analyses and developing a list of alternatives that might
enhance shareholder value.

     In addition, the Company retained M. Kane & Company, Inc. ("Kane & Co.") in
May 1994 to assist in locating retail tire store chains that might be suitable
for acquisition by the Company.  Kane & Co. discussed several possible
acquisitions with the Company, none of which resulted in substantive
negotiations with prospective acquisition candidates.

     SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN.  The Board had begun in early 1994 to consider
adopting a shareholder rights plan and other mechanisms designed to prevent the
acquisition of the Company under circumstances that would not result in its
shareholders realizing fair value for their Common Stock.  On April 14, 1994,
the Board met with Holme Roberts & Owen LLC, Denver, Colorado ("Holme Roberts"),
special counsel, and with PaineWebber to review such mechanisms and to consider
adopting a shareholder rights plan which was intended to have the practical
effect of ensuring that a fair price would be paid to Company shareholders for
their shares in the event of an acquisition.  At the April 14, 1994, Board
meeting, PaineWebber delivered to the Company a presentation containing
information about shareholder rights plans generally, certain publicly available
information about the Company and certain other companies in similar or
substantially similar businesses, and a range of implied stock prices for the
Common Stock in the year 2004 (the "2004 Estimated Range").  The 2004 Estimated
Range was made solely for use in determining the initial exercise price of the
rights to be issued under a shareholder rights plan, and was not intended in any
respect as an indicator of the Company's actual value.  The analyses delivered
at the April 14, 1994, Board meeting have been filed as exhibits to the Schedule
13E-3 relating to the Merger filed by the Parent and the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Schedule 13E-3").

     The Board met again on August 26, 1994, with representatives of Holme
Roberts and PaineWebber and, after additional consideration, adopted a
shareholder rights plan (the "Shareholder Rights Plan") and declared a dividend
of one right for each share of Common Stock outstanding on September 12, 1994,
and for each share of Common Stock issued thereafter.  Under the Shareholder
Rights Plan, on the tenth day following the public announcement of the
acquisition of or an offer to acquire specified percentages of the Common Stock,
the rights, if not redeemed, would become exercisable.  Under certain
circumstances, holders of the rights would be entitled to purchase, for half the
then current market price, Common Stock of the Company or of an entity acquiring
the Company.  The Company also adopted changes to the Company Bylaws with
respect to shareholder meetings and proposals and director nominations.  The
analyses delivered at the August 26, 1994, Board meeting have been filed as
exhibits to the Schedule 13E-3.

     INITIAL PAINEWEBBER PRESENTATION.  On September 12, 1994, the Investment
Committee, together with Messrs. Cloward and Adams and Ms. Hendee, met with
representatives of PaineWebber.  PaineWebber provided a written presentation to
the Investment Committee as to strategic alternatives for the Company. 
PaineWebber discussed the Company's operating plans and financial projections. 
PaineWebber reviewed with the Investment Committee a share repurchase program
and an extraordinary dividend to shareholders which were not viewed as
advantageous in view of the substantial borrowing required and the adverse
effect of increased leverage on future operations of the Company.  PaineWebber
also discussed with the Investment Committee the possibility of a leveraged
buyout by management and the acquisition of the Company by a strategic buyer or
a financial buyer, including a preliminary report as to the relative advantages
or disadvantages of such a combination given the Company's projections of future
performance and possible prices that a buyer might offer.  The Investment
Committee discussed on a preliminary basis maintaining the Company as an
independent entity, including implementing critical elements of the Company's
business plan which were intended to enhance profitability.  The PaineWebber
presentation to the Investment Committee of alternatives to enhance shareholder
value has been filed as an exhibit to the Schedule 13E-3.

     PaineWebber reported that it had received informal inquiries from persons
expressing an interest in acquiring the Company.  The Investment Committee
directed PaineWebber to conduct further discussion with those which had
expressed a preliminary interest so that the Investment Committee could select a
list of qualified potential buyers.

     On September 13, 1994, the Investment Committee reported to the Board
concerning its activities.  The Board determined that, in view of the
substantial activities of the Investment Committee, it would be advisable for
Mr. Mehlfeldt, who has significant experience in the tire industry, to serve
substantially full time assisting the Investment Committee in evaluating
strategic alliances, mergers, sales and acquisitions.  On September 22, 1994,
Mr. Mehlfeldt entered into a consulting agreement with the Company reporting to
the Investment Committee.  Mr. Mehlfeldt was paid fees of $47,250 in 1994 and
$3,750 in 1995.  The amounts paid were based on the days for which Mr. Mehlfeldt
provided consulting services.  The arrangement was terminated on February 15,
1995, when Mr. Mehlfeldt became an employee of the Company.

     Also, at its September 13, 1994 meeting, the Board decided to invite Mr.
Pavia to join the Board as a director.  In the event that Mr. Pavia declined the
invitation to join the Board, the Board authorized the Chairman of the
Investment Committee to invite Mr. Pavia to attend Investment Committee
meetings.  Mr. Pavia did not join the Board, and on September 22, 1994, the
Company announced that Mr. Pavia would assist the Investment Committee in its
efforts to evaluate alternatives to enhance the Company's value.  In September
1994, Mr. Pavia and Balboa signed a confidentiality agreement with the Company.

     The Investment Committee next met on October 11, 1994, with Messrs. Adams,
Cloward, Teigen and Ms. Hendee, representatives of PaineWebber, and Mr. Pavia. 
PaineWebber reported that it had conversations with persons who had expressed an
interest in acquiring the Company, including possible strategic buyers and
financial buyers.  PaineWebber advised that all persons who had expressed an
interest had been supplied with confidentiality agreements as a condition to the
Company providing due diligence information.

     THE AKH OFFER.  On October 11, 1994, AKH Company, Inc. ("AKH"), which owns
retail tire dealerships and is based in California, sent the Company a letter
proposing a merger in which the Company would be acquired for a cash payment of
$18 per share, subject to due diligence, financing and various other conditions.
The AKH proposal also required a 90-day period of exclusivity during which the
Company could not carry on discussions or negotiations with any third parties
regarding a sale or combination of the Company.  The Company had been approached
by AKH earlier in 1994 to determine the interest in the possible acquisition of
AKH by the Company.  The Company had not pursued discussions with AKH at that
time after determining that many of AKH's retail stores were within territories
served by existing Company franchised Retail Stores.

     The Company asked AKH to enter into a confidentiality agreement with the
Company, and, because of concerns about AKH's financial ability to acquire the
Company, to demonstrate its financial capacity to conclude a transaction.  The
Company also advised AKH that it was unwilling to grant a period of exclusivity.
In mid-November, 1994, AKH and the Company entered into confidentiality
agreements.  On November 1, 1994, AKH announced publicly that it had made a
proposal to acquire the Company for an unspecified amount of cash.

     The Investment Committee met on October 24, 1994, with Mr. Adams, Ms.
Hendee, Mr. Teigen and representatives of PaineWebber.  The Investment Committee
was advised that a group of Dealers had appointed a committee to review
alternatives available to the Dealers in acquiring the Company and that the
Dealers had retained KPMG Peat Marwick L.P. ("KPMG") to act as their financial
advisor.  Mr. Adams advised the Investment Committee that certain members of
Senior Management were also investigating possible participation with certain of
the Dealers in an offer to purchase the Company, and that certain
representatives of Dealers and Senior Management had met to determine whether to
make an offer to the Company.  He advised that KPMG and a representative of the
Dealers had signed confidentiality agreements and that Senior Management and the
Dealers had retained Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, Denver, Colorado, as their legal
counsel.  In view of the Dealers' interest in a possible transaction with the
Company, Mr. Asher, who has interests in, and beneficially owns interests in,
several Retail Stores, resigned from the Investment Committee.

     Soon thereafter, the Investment Committee determined to retain Holme
Roberts as special counsel to the Investment Committee.  Holme Roberts had
previously represented ad hoc committees of the Board and had from time to time
performed legal services for the Company, primarily in connection with adopting
its Shareholder Rights Plan, but was not regularly retained as counsel for the
Company.

     The Investment Committee met on November 4, 1994, with representatives of
PaineWebber and Holme Roberts, and Mr. Pavia and Ms. Hendee.  PaineWebber
advised the Investment Committee of contacts that it had made and discussions
that had occurred with ten possible strategic buyers and five financial buyers,
several of whom had expressed no interest in continuing discussions with the
Company.

     The Investment Committee met again on November 17, 1994, with
representatives of PaineWebber, Holme Roberts, Mr. Pavia and Ms. Hendee. 
Mr. Mehlfeldt and PaineWebber provided the Investment Committee with an update
as to discussions or contacts on the potential strategic and financial buyers
lists.  The Investment Committee requested PaineWebber and Mr. Mehlfeldt to
intensify discussions with AKH and the Dealer Management Group and to follow-up
with one other party who had expressed a preliminary interest in an attempt to
bring the discussions to some form of resolution.

     DEALER MANAGEMENT GROUP'S FIRST OFFER.  On December 2, 1994, the Company
received a letter from the Dealer Management Group that proposed to commence
negotiations to acquire the outstanding shares of the Company for $18.50 per
share.  The proposal was subject to various contingencies, including
participation in the buying group by at least 90% of the Common Stock held in
the ESOP and by the owners of 90% of franchised Retail Stores. The Dealer
Management Group also requested a period of exclusivity of 120 days during which
the Company would negotiate only with the Dealer Management Group.

     The Investment Committee met on December 5, 1994, with Mr. Pavia and
representatives of PaineWebber and Holme Roberts to discuss the Dealer
Management Group offer.  At that meeting, the Investment Committee also
discussed the status of the AKH offer and what implications, if any, acceptance
of the AKH offer might have on the Big O franchised dealers as a group.  During
the meeting, PaineWebber and Mr. Mehlfeldt discussed with the Investment
Committee the status of contacts made by PaineWebber on behalf of the Company
with other prospective purchasers.  Based upon this presentation, the Investment
Committee determined that only AKH and the Dealer Management Group continued to
evidence an active interest in a transaction to acquire the Company.

     At that meeting, the Investment Committee also considered a request by the
Dealer Management Group for payment of its expenses in connection with pursuing
an offer to buy the Company.  The Investment Committee decided to agree to cover
the Dealer Management Group's expenses up to $100,000 incurred to prepare,
document and finance its acquisition proposal, including, without limitation,
preparation of a definitive merger agreement.  The Investment Committee directed
Mr. Mehlfeldt and PaineWebber to request the Dealer Management Group to prepare
a form of definitive merger agreement to determine if acceptable terms could be
arranged.  The Company did not agree to a period of exclusivity pending receipt
of a satisfactory form of merger agreement.

     On December 6, 1994, two class-action lawsuits were filed in Nevada by
shareholders of the Company seeking to enjoin a transaction with the Dealer
Management Group, enjoin implementation of the Shareholders Rights Plan, and
various other forms of relief.  The two cases, which were consolidated, were
dismissed by the plaintiffs without prejudice on March 31, 1995.

     During November and December 1994, the Company forwarded to the financial
advisor for AKH certain requested information in connection with AKH's due
diligence investigation, and representatives of AKH spent one day at the
Company's headquarters conducting due diligence investigations.  A due diligence
meeting between the Company and representatives of AKH was scheduled for
December 12 to 14, 1994, but was canceled by AKH through its financial advisor.

     On December 7, 1994, Mr. Mehlfeldt and representatives of PaineWebber met
with Messrs. Adams and Cloward, representing Senior Management, Wesley E.
Stephenson and William H. Spencer, representing the Dealers, and a
representative of KPMG to discuss the terms of the Dealer Management Group's
letter of intent to purchase the Company.  Senior Management was authorized to
contact the Company's lenders to discuss the proposal.

     On December 8, 1994, the Investment Committee met with representatives of
PaineWebber and Holme Roberts.  The Investment Committee decided to request that
AKH and the Dealer Management Group evidence their continuing interest in
acquiring the Company, by reaffirming their proposed prices, providing
information as to their respective financing contingencies, and setting forth
their due diligence requirements and a timetable for closing, by 12:00 Noon on
Friday, December 16, 1994, at which time the Investment Committee would review
the respective requests for a period of exclusive negotiations.  The Investment
Committee also agreed to reimburse the Dealer Management Group for up to an
aggregate of $175,000 of reasonable expenses, provided that the Dealer
Management Group agreed to withdraw a request to adjust the proposed purchase
price by an amount equal to the transaction fee due PaineWebber and that it
proceed immediately to prepare and submit a definitive merger agreement.

     During the next few days representatives of the Investment Committee
discussed the terms of their offer with representatives of the Dealer Management
Group.  They also attempted to reach AKH through its financial advisor to
discuss its offer.

     On December 13, 1994, the Company and the Dealer Management Group signed a
letter agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to reimburse the Dealer
Management Group for up to $100,000 of costs incurred prior to December 8, 1994,
in connection with its acquisition proposal and agreed to reimburse up to
$75,000 of additional costs for a period beginning December 8, 1994, and ending
on the earlier of execution of a definitive merger agreement, termination of the
acquisition proposal, or December 31, 1994.  On December 14, 1994, the Dealer
Management Group sent a draft merger agreement to the Company.

     Thereafter, Mr. Mehlfeldt and representatives of PaineWebber and Holme
Roberts discussed with Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher and KPMG the form of merger
agreement and the terms of a proposed exclusivity agreement and agreement to
reimburse certain expenses of the Dealer Management Group.  The Company also
received a letter from AKH to the effect that it would not proceed with its
proposal until the Dealer Management Group proposal was no longer being
considered.

     The Investment Committee met on December 16, 1994, with Mr. Pavia and
representatives of PaineWebber and Holme Roberts.  They were advised by Mr.
Pavia that AKH had advised him that AKH had elected not to pursue a transaction
with the Company because of the difficulty in competing with Company franchised
dealers whose goodwill they would need if they were to acquire the Company, as
well as its inability to conduct due diligence in a timely manner.  The
Investment Committee discussed the AKH response and discussed AKH's due
diligence efforts with PaineWebber and members of the Investment Committee who
had been dealing with AKH.  The Investment Committee determined that there was
not a serious interest on the part of AKH to continue to pursue its offer.

     The Investment Committee also reviewed with PaineWebber the status of
discussions with other prospective purchasers and determined that there did not
appear to be active interest in acquiring the Company on the part of any
prospective purchaser except the Dealer Management Group.  The Investment
Committee then authorized Mr. Siipola and Mr. Mehlfeldt to negotiate with the
Dealer Management Group with respect to an exclusive negotiation period until
January 20, 1995, and to pay 80% of costs and expenses of the Dealer Management
Group, except in cases where the transaction was terminated for reasons other
than the group's unilateral decision not to proceed.  Messrs. Mehlfeldt and
Siipola and representatives of Holme Roberts and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher
negotiated the terms of an exclusivity agreement and modified arrangement
regarding reimbursement of expenses during the ensuing week.

     On December 22, 1994, the Company signed a letter agreement with the Dealer
Management Group pursuant to which the Company agreed that it would not solicit
or initiate, or, subject to the fiduciary duties of its Board of Directors,
participate in discussions with, any person concerning the acquisition of the
Company.  The period of exclusivity would terminate upon the later of execution
of a definitive merger agreement, termination of negotiations and January 20,
1995.

     The December 22, 1994 letter amended the December 13, 1994 letter with
respect to expenses and provided that the Company could terminate the
arrangement upon 24-hours notice with respect to expenses not yet incurred. The
Dealer Management Group agreed that if it did not consummate the proposed merger
for any reason other than because (i) financing was unavailable, or (ii) the
Investment Committee failed to recommend or withdraw the recommendation of the
consummation of the transaction because of another transaction under certain
circumstances, the Dealer Management Group would reimburse the Company for 20%
of the expenses incurred.  The Company also agreed to indemnify and hold
harmless the Dealer Management Group for all costs and expenses arising out of
claims relating to the proposed transaction.

     Thereafter, discussions occurred between Messrs. Siipola and Mehlfeldt on
behalf of the Investment Committee and Messrs. Cloward and Adams on behalf of
Senior Management and with Messrs. Stephenson, Spencer and Richard Miller on
behalf of the Dealers with respect to terms of the definitive merger agreement.
These discussions primarily related to topping fees, reimbursement of expenses
and contingencies to the Dealer Management Group's obligations.  Other
discussions about the merger agreement were conducted by the respective parties
through Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher and Holme Roberts.

     On January 19, 1995, Messrs. Spencer, Siipola and Mehlfeldt met with
representatives of KPMG, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, Holme Roberts and PaineWebber
to discuss the status of the negotiations.  KPMG described the status of the
group's efforts to obtain an equity participant from various tire manufacturers
and the status of other negotiations with respect to financings.  The
representatives of the Company inquired as to progress in forming various
entities to be owned by the Dealer Management Group and were advised that
definitive agreements among the members of the Dealer Management Group had not
been completed.

     On January 20, 1995, the Investment Committee met with Mr. Pavia and
representatives of PaineWebber and Holme Roberts to review a draft merger
agreement.  Mr. Cloward and representatives of KPMG and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher
also met with the Investment Committee during a portion of the meeting to advise
that certain negotiations with respect to equity participations in their group
were continuing and that open issues remained between Senior Management and the
Dealer Management Group with respect to their relative participation in the
purchasing entity.  The Investment Committee resolved to recommend to the Board
that the form of merger agreement be signed.

     Subsequently, on January 20, 1995, Messrs. Cloward, Adams and Spencer and
representatives of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher met with Messrs. Mehlfeldt, Siipola
and representatives of Holme Roberts and PaineWebber.  The Dealer Management
Group advised the Investment Committee that in view of the unresolved issues
among them and the inability to obtain the necessary elements of financing, the
Dealer Management Group was not prepared to sign a merger agreement. They
requested an extension under the December 22, 1994 letter agreement until
February 8, 1995, to sign the merger agreement, which the Company approved.  At
the close of business on January 20, 1995, Messrs. Cloward and Adams advised
Holme Roberts that they had received a negative response to the proposed price
of $18.50 per share from one of the possible equity participants with the Dealer
Management Group and advised that the group would not hold the Company to the
extension until February 8, 1995.  Following discussions between Mr. Cloward and
Mr. Siipola as to the status of negotiations, the Company reaffirmed its belief
that the transaction should be financeable and determined to honor the extension
agreement while the Dealer Management Group continued to seek financing.

     The Investment Committee met with Mr. Pavia and representatives of
PaineWebber and Holme Roberts on February 8, 1995.  It reviewed three letters
dated February 7, 1995.  The first letter was from the Dealer Management Group
which advised that the group had elected not to continue negotiations at that
time in light of the difficulties it had experienced in obtaining the elements
of its financing necessary to consummate the acquisition and the resulting
inability of the Dealer Management Group to reach agreement on certain issues
relating to the acquisition.

     The second letter was from the Dealers and advised that the Dealers
intended to form an association to be known as "Big O Tire Dealers of America"
which was to be organized to deal cooperatively with respect to matters concern-
ing Big O franchisees.  The letter contained a copy of a Dealer's "Declaration
of Interdependence" which set forth a four-part purpose of the association,
including the protection and advancement of Dealers' common interests in
preserving the continuity of operations as they currently existed, including
distribution systems, product supply, and operational philosophy at the retail
level.

     The third letter also dated February 7, 1995, from Messrs. Cloward and
Adams, requested a period of exclusivity for negotiating a transaction on behalf
of Senior Management and others who might provide financing.  Representatives of
Senior Management informed the Company that they continued to be interested in
completing a purchase of the Company on mutually acceptable terms.  The
Investment Committee did not grant the period of exclusivity requested.  The
Investment Committee began to discuss a restructuring plan for the Company
presented in very general terms by Messrs. Siipola and Mehlfeldt.  On February
8, 1995, the Company publicly announced that the Dealer Management Group had
elected not to pursue the proposed transaction due to the inability to secure
financing.

     On February 9, 1995, Mr. Cloward requested that the Company continue to pay
certain expenses of Senior Management in pursuing a possible acquisition.  The
Investment Committee declined the request.

     From February 11, 1995, to February 15, 1995, the Company's franchised
dealers met for their annual convention in Las Vegas.  Numerous informal
conversations and meetings occurred among members of the Dealers, Senior
Management and members of the Investment Committee, some of which concerned in
general terms whether a transaction might be possible.

     At a Board meeting on February 15, 1995, the Board approved a revised
management structure.  The objective of the revised management structure was to
allow Mr. Cloward time to continue working on a transaction to acquire the
Company and to enable Messrs. Siipola and Mehlfeldt to manage the Company while
exploring alternatives to enhance the value of the Company should a transaction
with the Dealers and Senior Management not occur.  Mr. Siipola remained as
Chairman and Mr. Mehlfeldt was elected Vice Chairman of the Company.  Messrs.
Siipola and Mehlfeldt were retained to work for the Company substantially full
time pursuant to salary and incentive arrangements.  Mr. Cloward would continue
as President of the Company.  Messrs. Siipola, Mehlfeldt and Cloward became
members of the Office of the Chief Executive.  Because of the complexity of
organizing the Dealer Management Group proposals, the Board advised Mr. Cloward
that it would have no objection if he continued to devote substantially all of
his business time to an attempt to organize a group of Dealers and Senior
Management to acquire the Company.

     On February 7, 1995, Big O Tire Dealers of America ("BOTDA"), a California
nonprofit mutual benefit corporation was incorporated.  Thereafter, BOTDA took
an active role in representing the Dealers' interests as a part of the Dealer
Management Group.  At a Board meeting on February 15, 1995, the Board considered
adding a representative of the Dealers to the Board.

     At a Board meeting held on February 24, 1995, the Board approved amendments
to the Company's Bylaws so as to accommodate the concept of a three-person Chief
Executive Office and to also recognize the new office of Vice Chairman of the
Board.

     Discussions continued periodically during February and March, 1995 with the
Dealer Management Group and various members of the Investment Committee.  These
discussions related primarily to whether the Dealers and Senior Management would
make another offer to purchase the Company and, if so, at what price such offer
might be made.

     The Dealer Management Group's Second Offer.  On April 6, 1995, the Company
received a proposal from the Dealer Management Group to acquire the Company for
a cash price of $16 per share and on substantially the same other terms as the
December proposal, including contingencies of signing a definitive merger
agreement, obtaining financing to complete the purchase, participation in the
acquisition by holders of at least 80% of the shares held by the Company's ESOP,
and participation in the purchasing group by franchise dealers having at least
85% of the Retail Stores.  On April 12, 1995, the Investment Committee met with
PaineWebber and Holme Roberts.  The Investment Committee authorized
reimbursement of expenses by the Dealer Management Group through February 8,
1995.  The Investment Committee considered a request for certain reimbursement
of expenses by Senior Management subsequent to February 8, 1995, and determined
not to provide any additional reimbursements.  The Investment Committee reviewed
the details of the debt and equity financing that the Dealer Management Group
had provided to the Company in connection with the offer to assess the
likelihood that financing to complete the purchase would be available.  The
Investment Committee determined not to accept the $16 per share offer, decided
not to reimburse additional expenses of the group in pursuing the proposal, and
expressed the Investment Committee's concern about the contingency concerning
the ESOP's participation in the transaction.  The Investment Committee advised
the Dealer Management Group of its determination, and also that the Investment
Committee would be open to further negotiations at a more favorable price.  The
Investment Committee's response was announced publicly.

     On April 24, 1995, the Investment Committee met with representatives of the
Dealers and Senior Management including Messrs. Stephenson and Spencer and
others on behalf of the Dealers and Messrs. Cloward and Adams, and represen-
tatives of KPMG, PaineWebber, Holme Roberts and Wendel Rosen Black & Dean
("Wendel Rosen"), which was now counsel for the Dealers.  The Dealer Management
Group discussed why they believed the $16 offer was adequate.  After the meeting
adjourned, various members of the Investment Committee met with representatives
of the Dealers.  In the ensuing days, members of the Investment Committee had
conversations with members of the Dealer Management Group with respect to
various matters relating to Company management as well as the status of the
Dealer Management Group's offer.

     By notice dated May 5, 1995, the Dealer Management Group advised the
Company of its desire to have two proposals brought before the Company's Annual
Meeting of Stockholders scheduled for June 7, 1995.  The first proposal was to
recommend that the Company's Board of Directors take all actions necessary to
eliminate the Stockholder Rights Plan.  The second proposal was to recommend
that the Company's Board of Directors begin the good faith reconsideration of,
and, if appropriate, negotiation of, the previously rejected cash offer of $16
per share made on April 6, 1995, through a committee comprised exclusively of
non-employee directors.  Because the Dealers and Senior Management believed that
adequate progress was being made in negotiations with the Investment Committee
prior to the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, no attempt was made to solicit
votes for the proposals and they were not presented at the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders.

     Due to the fact that they had become employees of the Company, on May 10,
1995, Messrs. Siipola and Mehlfeldt resigned from the Investment Committee and
thereafter did not participate in the Investment Committee's deliberations.  Mr.
Carney was elected Chair of the Investment Committee.

     On May 22, 1995, representatives of the Dealer Management Group and their
advisors met with the Investment Committee, PaineWebber and Holme Roberts to
discuss the price at which the Dealer Management Group believed a transaction
could be accomplished.  Although the Dealer Management Group did not raise its
offer above $16.00, it explored with the Investment Committee, the Investment
Committee's advisors and the advisors to the Dealer Management Group, the
possibility of reducing certain costs associated with the transaction so that
the offer price could be increased.  The meeting ended with the Investment
Committee indicating that although the Dealer Management Group would have to
negotiate any such cost savings on its own, the Investment Committee would be
receptive to an acquisition offer for the Company at a price of $16.50 per
share.

     On June 5, 1995, the Company announced that it had received a letter from
the Dealer Management Group proposing to acquire the Company at a price of
$16.50 per share, subject to a number of conditions.  In conjunction with the
Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Investment Committee met on June
6, 1995, with PaineWebber and Holme Roberts to discuss the status of
negotiations with the Dealer Management Group, including timing of a transaction
and the terms of reimbursement of their expenses.  The Investment Committee met
the following morning with Holme Roberts and representatives from Senior
Management, and the Dealers including Messrs. Cloward, Adams, Stephenson,
Spencer, a representative of Wendel Rosen and other members of the Dealer
Management Group to discuss terms of a definitive agreement.  On June 7, 1995,
the Investment Committee met with Holme Roberts and decided to recommend that
the Company enter into a letter agreement with the Dealer Management Group with
respect to an offer at $16.50 per share subject to obtaining financing,
participation in the Purchaser of at least 80% of the shares held by the
Company's ESOP, participation in the Purchaser of not less than 85% of the
franchised Big O Dealers, and negotiation of a definitive merger agreement.  The
Company agreed to pay up to $750,000 of the Purchaser's expenses (including
those previously reimbursed in connection with the December 1994 proposal), if
85% of the franchised stores owned by Dealers participating in the Dealer Group
with franchises expiring before July 1, 1999, extended their franchise
agreements at least through the earlier of (a) July 1, 2002, or (b) the date
three years after such franchise agreements would expire.  If they did not do
so, the reimbursement would not exceed $500,000.  The Investment Committee also
agreed to reimburse up to $217,000 of financing fees and commitments.  The Board
met following that meeting and approved the letter agreement.  The letter
agreement was signed on June 7, 1995, by the Company and the Dealer Management
Group, a press release announcing the signing of the letter agreement was
released on June 7, 1995, and the signing of the letter agreement was announced
at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on the evening of June 7, 1995.

     During the ensuing month the parties negotiated a definitive merger
agreement.  The Investment Committee met on July 18, 1995, with Holme Roberts to
review the Merger Agreement and provided final, technical comments.

     On July 21, 1995, the Investment Committee met with PaineWebber and Holme
Roberts and approved signing the Merger Agreement. Representatives of
PaineWebber reviewed the terms of the transaction, including its work with the
Company over the past year.  The Investment Committee then reviewed language of
the draft Merger Agreement and its representations concerning the Investment
Committee's determination with respect to the fairness of the transaction and
the likelihood of receiving a fairness opinion.  The Investment Committee
determined to recommend the Merger to the Board as being in the best interest of
the Company and its shareholders for the reasons set forth below in
"Recommendation of the Board; the Company's Purpose and Reasons for and Belief
as to the Fairness of the Merger."  The Investment Committee also determined,
based upon its own analysis of the Merger Consideration and taking into
consideration the presentation of PaineWebber at the meeting, that the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, based on information
presently known, are in the best interest of and, subject to the receipt of the
fairness opinions as described in the Merger Agreement, fair to the
disinterested shareholders of the Company.  The Investment Committee also
determined that it was unaware of any reason why the Company would not receive a
fairness opinion as provided in the Merger Agreement.

     Thereafter, on July 21, 1995, the Board met with Hopper and Kanouff, Holme
Roberts and PaineWebber and again approved signing the Merger Agreement and
certain amendments to the Shareholder Rights Plan necessary to permit the
signing of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger.  Members of
the Board who were participating in the transaction as Senior Management or
Dealers abstained from voting because of such participation.  All other
directors voted to approve the Merger Agreement.  The Merger Agreement was
signed on July 24, 1995.

     On July 24, 1995, prior to executing the Merger Agreement, the Company
changed the Shareholder Rights Plan by amending the Rights Agreement between the
Company and Interwest Transfer Co., Inc., to specifically exclude from the
definition of an "Acquiring Person," the following: (i) BOTI Holdings, Inc.;
(ii) BOTI Acquisition Corp.; (iii) an entity to be formed directly or indirectly
by persons who are currently franchisees of the Company; (iv) any other person
who may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Common Stock because of the
execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement; and (v) any group consisting of
two or more of the foregoing, so long as such persons are not the beneficial
owners of any capital stock of the Company other than (a) Common Stock acquired
pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (b) Common Stock owned or subject to stock
options held by such persons prior to the date of the Merger Agreement; (c)
Common Stock acquired by any of such persons from any other of such persons; (d)
Common Stock or other securities acquired by such persons in transactions or
types of transactions that are approved in advance by the Investment Committee;
and (e) any other person that beneficially owned Common Stock as of July 24,
1995, but does not thereafter become the beneficial owner of any additional
Common Stock not exceeding 1% of the share of Common Stock then outstanding.

     On August 16, 1995, the Dealer Management Group presented to the Investment
Committee evidence of financing commitments subject to various contingencies,
the fulfillment of which would occur in the future.  The Investment Committee
reviewed and determined that the Dealer Management Group's financing
commitments, in the aggregate, were for amounts sufficient to provide funds to
pay the Merger Consideration.

     On August 31, 1995, the Company agreed to a request made by the Dealer
Management Group to extend until October 2, 1995, the date on which the Company
or the Dealer Management Group could terminate the Merger Agreement, if prior to
October 2, 1995, the Dealer Management Group had not satisfied or waived the
contingency in the Merger Agreement that required participation in the Dealer
Management Group by the Company's dealers owning not less than 85% of the
franchised Big O Retail Stores ("Dealer Participation Contingency").  As a part
of the agreement, the Dealer Management Group agreed that the Company could
delay incurring additional expenditures with respect to its proxy statement
until the Company had been advised that the Dealer Participation Contingency had
been satisfied or waived, and the Company was satisfied that a fairness opinion
would be received by the participants in the Company ESOP in connection with the
proposed Merger.  See the Merger Agreement, as amended, attached to this Proxy
Statement as APPENDIX A.

     On October 2, 1995, the Company agreed to a request made by the Dealer
Management Group to extend until October 16, 1995, the date on which the Company
or the Dealer Management Group could terminate the Merger Agreement, if prior to
October 16, 1995, the Dealer Management Group had not satisfied or waived the
Dealer Participation Contingency.  As part of the agreement, the Dealer
Management Group agreed that the Company would not further extend such deadline
and that the Company could delay incurring additional expenditures with respect
to its proxy statement until the Company had been advised that the Dealer
Participation Contingency had been satisfied or waived.  See the Merger
Agreement, as amended, attached to this Proxy Statement as APPENDIX A.

     On October 15, 1995, the Company received notice from the Parent and the
Purchaser that the Parent and the Purchaser elected to waive the Dealer
Participation Contingency.  The Parent and the Purchaser advised the Company
that dealers owning 82% of the Company's franchised Retail Stores, as of the
date of the Merger Agreement, had elected to participate indirectly in the
acquisition of the Company.

     On November 14, 1995, the Board met with Hopper and Kanouff, Holme Roberts,
PaineWebber and Lentz Evans and King, P.C., legal counsel to the ESOP.  At the
meeting, PaineWebber rendered its opinion to the effect that, as of such date,
the Merger Consideration was fair, from a financial point of view, to the
holders of Common Stock (other than holders of Excluded Shares).  See "Special
Factors -- Opinion of Financial Advisor."  The analysis of PaineWebber delivered
at the November 14, 1995, Board meeting has been filed as an exhibit to the
Schedule 13E-3.

     At the meeting held on November 14, 1995, the Board approved various
amendments to the ESOP most of which will only take effect after the
consummation of the Merger.  Included in such amendments is an amendment that
sets forth the procedures as to how the Common Stock held by the ESOP is to be
voted on the Merger.  See "Principal Stockholders of the Company -- Note 1." 
Also, on November 14, 1995, the Board, upon the unanimous recommendation of the
Investment Committee, approved amendments to the Merger Agreement to clarify the
mechanics of how the conversion of the Common Stock held by the ESOP which is to
be converted into shares of the Parent is to be accomplished.

     At the meeting held on November 14, 1995, the Board (other than those
directors who are participating in the acquisition as members of Senior
Management or the Dealers who abstained) voted to recommend that the
stockholders vote for the Merger.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS; THE COMPANY'S PURPOSE AND REASONS FOR
AND BELIEF AS TO THE FAIRNESS OF THE MERGER

     RECOMMENDATION.  The Investment Committee and the Board (excluding the
directors who will be stockholders of the Purchaser, all of whom abstained from
voting) of the Company have considered the terms and structure of the Merger,
have reviewed the financial and legal aspects of the Merger with financial and
legal advisors, have considered the financial and operational considerations
related to the Merger, believe that the Merger is fair to and in the best
interest of the Company's stockholders who are not affiliated with Senior
Management or the Dealers and recommend that stockholders vote for the proposal
to approve the Merger Agreement.  Included in the directors who voted for the
recommendation were all of the directors who are not employees of the Company or
Dealers.  Each member of the Board of Directors has advised the Company that he
intends to vote his shares in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement.  On
the Record Date those directors (including members of Senior Management) and
members of their families owned an aggregate _______ outstanding shares
(approximately ____% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock).

     PURPOSE AND REASONS FOR THE MERGER AND FOR THE TIMING OF THE MERGER.  The
Company's purpose and reason for the Merger are to allow all stockholders of the
Company to sell their shares in the Company at a price that the Investment
Committee and Board believe is fair to and in the best interests of the
stockholders.  After the Stockholder Proposal was approved in June 1994 the
Company began immediately considering various alternatives to fulfill the
mandate to take action directed toward enhancing stockholder value.  The timing
of the Merger has been determined by the time required to review various
alternatives to enhance stockholder value for the Company, to solicit
indications from persons who might be interested in acquiring the Company, to
negotiate the terms of the Merger Agreement, for the Dealer Management Group to
obtain financing, and to obtain the requisite stockholder and other approvals.

     FAIRNESS.  The Board and the Investment Committee began considering various
alternatives in response to the Stockholder Proposal and after considering all
of the factors described below, determined that the Merger was fair to and in
the best interest of the Company's stockholders who would receive the Merger
Consideration.

     MERGER PRICE.  The Merger Consideration constitutes a 14.8% premium over
the $14.375 last reported sale price of the Common Stock on July 20, 1995.

     MARKET TEST.  After extensive testing of the market to determine whether
there were buyers for the Company, the Board and the Investment Committee
determined that the Merger Consideration represents the best transaction that
would be available for the Company in the foreseeable future.  The Board and
Investment Committee believe the market test was conducted fairly and
thoroughly.  The marketplace was aware that the Company would be receptive to
offers for more than 10 months prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement
and the Company through PaineWebber contacted approximately 17 prospective
purchasers of the Company.

     OTHER TRANSACTIONS.  The Investment Committee and the Board did not
believe, based upon the analysis of PaineWebber and its own determination of
acceptable debt levels for the Company, that extraordinary dividends or share
repurchases would enhance stockholder value.

     LIQUIDATION VALUE.  The Board did not believe that the Company's
stockholders would receive an amount per share exceeding the Merger
Consideration if the Company were liquidated.  The Board determined that
liquidation would be less favorable to the Company's stockholders than the
Merger Consideration because of taxes that would be payable at the Company level
before distributions to stockholders could be paid and the fact that the
Company's assets were not separately as valuable as the Company as a going
concern.

     STATUS QUO.  The Investment Committee considered continuing to operate the
Company without any specific transaction and determined that a transaction for
the Merger Consideration was advisable.  The retail tire business is extremely
competitive with relatively low margins.  In addition, the Company depends upon
continued strong purchases from Retail Stores that are free to buy their retail
inventory elsewhere.  The uncertainty of future successful performance by the
Company was considered to be outweighed by the assurance of $16.50 per share.

     FAIRNESS OPINION.  The Board considered the advice of PaineWebber with
respect to various alternatives to enhance shareholder value, PaineWebber's
presentation on July 21, 1995, and the opinion of PaineWebber delivered on
November 14, 1995, to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion, the
Merger Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of
Common Stock (other than holders of Excluded Shares).

     CONTINUING RELATIONSHIP WITH DEALERS.  The Company's primary customers are
the Retail Stores.  It became apparent during the course of reviewing
alternatives for the Company that a sale of the Company or other action that the
Dealers did not support could adversely affect the value of the Company and
could seriously affect the price obtainable for the Company's shares in an
alternative transaction.  The most significant assets of the Company are its
franchises and relationships with its group of franchised dealers and any
proposed sale of the Company or other action that diminishes the value of those
assets could seriously affect the value of the Company.

     The Investment Committee and the Board of Directors have not assigned
relative weights to the factors described above.

THE PARENT'S PURPOSES AND REASONS FOR THE MERGER

     The Parent is engaging in the Merger in order to concentrate the ownership
of the Company in those parties who will be actively engaged in its operation,
will have a long-term perspective and will be highly motivated toward the
building of a successful operation.  The Parent's desire to effect the Merger is
based upon the expected realization of the Merger benefits described in the
following paragraph.  Having identified those expected benefits of the Merger,
the Parent believes that the achievement of those benefits should be pursued at
the present time because the Company's Investment Committee has for
approximately 18 months been exploring strategic alternatives which, if
accomplished, would either make the acquisition of the Company by the Parent
impossible or unattractive.

     The Parent believes that the Company, which will be a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Parent after the Merger, will benefit from the Merger because
(i) the Company's management will be free to devote itself to building long-term
values for the Company without concern that such efforts may adversely affect
short-term results and the market price for the Common Stock; (ii) the Merger
will eliminate the need for the Company to comply with the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act, to maintain its current listing on the NASDAQ
National Market System, and to continue an investor relations program, the
aggregate cost of which the Company estimates amounts to approximately $190,000
annually (primarily consisting of the preparation of the annual report to
stockholders, accounting and legal fees and investor program costs); (iii) the
Company will be able to pursue the common goals of the Dealers and the Company's
employees; and (iv) the ownership of the Company will be concentrated in the
hands of those parties who will be actively engaged in its operation, will have
a long-term perspective and will be highly motivated toward the building of a
successful operation.

     The form of the Merger was selected by the Parent to accomplish in a single
step its acquisition of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company
not already owned by the Parent's stockholders.  That structure was deemed
preferable to a tender offer, which probably would have resulted in less than
100% ownership by the Parent unless followed by a subsequent merger.  The Parent
offered cash consideration in the Merger because this was the only method which
would accomplish the goal of eliminating public ownership and establishing the
desired unification of the owners, substantial suppliers and employees of the
Company.

OPINION OF FINANCIAL ADVISOR

     The full text of the opinion of PaineWebber dated November 14, 1995, which
sets forth the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and
limitations on the review undertaken, is attached as APPENDIX B to this Proxy
Statement.  Stockholders of the Company are urged to read such opinion carefully
in its entirety.  The summary of the PaineWebber opinion set forth in this Proxy
Statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such
opinion.

     The Company retained PaineWebber as financial advisor to the Investment
Committee with respect to the Merger and to render an opinion as to whether or
not the Merger Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to the
holders of Common Stock (other than holders of Excluded Shares).

     PaineWebber has delivered to the Board its written opinion to the effect
that, as of November 14, 1995, and based on its review and assumptions and
subject to the limitations summarized below, the Merger Consideration is fair,
from a financial point of view, to the holders of Common Stock (other than
holders of Excluded Shares).  PaineWebber's opinion does not constitute a
recommendation to any stockholder of the Company as to how such stockholder
should vote with respect to the Merger.

     In rendering its opinion, PaineWebber, among other things: (i) reviewed,
among other public information, the Company's Annual Reports, Forms 10-K and
related financial information for the five fiscal years ended December 31, 1994,
and a draft of the Company's Form 10-Q and the related unaudited financial
information for the nine months ended September 30, 1995; (ii) reviewed certain
information, including financial forecasts, relating to the business, earnings,
cash flow, assets and prospects of the Company, furnished to PaineWebber by the
Company; (iii) conducted discussions with members of senior management of the
Company concerning the Company's businesses and prospects; (iv) reviewed the
historical market prices and trading activity for the Common Stock and compared
such price and trading history with that of certain other publicly traded
companies which PaineWebber deemed relevant; (v) compared the financial position
and operating results of the Company with those of certain other publicly traded
companies which PaineWebber deemed relevant; (vi) reviewed the proposed
financial terms of the Merger and compared such terms with the financial terms
of certain other mergers and acquisitions which PaineWebber deemed relevant;
(vii) reviewed the Merger Agreement and a draft of this Proxy Statement as
proposed to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (viii)
reviewed such other financial studies and analyses and performed such other
investigations and took into account such other matters as PaineWebber deemed
appropriate, including its assessment of general economic, market and monetary
conditions.

     In preparing its opinion, PaineWebber relied on the accuracy and
completeness of all information that was publicly available or supplied or
otherwise communicated to it by or on behalf of the Company, and it has not
independently verified such information.  PaineWebber assumed that the financial
forecasts examined by it were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best
currently available estimates and good faith judgments of the management of the
Company as to the future performance or the Company.  PaineWebber did not
undertake, and was not provided with, an independent evaluation or appraisal of
the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Company and assumed
that all material liabilities (contingent or otherwise, known or unknown) of the
Company are as set forth in the Company's consolidated financial statements. 
PaineWebber, at the request of the Company, solicited third party indications of
interest with respect to the acquisition of the Company.  PaineWebber's opinion
is based on the regulatory, economic, monetary and market conditions existing on
the date thereof.

     PaineWebber's opinion is directed to the Board of Directors of the Company
and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder of the Company as to
how any such stockholder should vote with respect to the Merger.  PaineWebber's
opinion does not address the relative merits of the Merger and any other
potential transactions or business strategies discussed by the Board of
Directors of the Company or the Investment Committee as alternatives to the
Merger or the decision of the Board of Directors of the Company to proceed with
the Merger.

     PaineWebber assumed that there had been no material changes in the
Company's assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or
prospects since the date of the last financial statements made available to
PaineWebber.  PaineWebber assumed no responsibility to revise or update its
opinion if there is a change in the financial condition or prospects of the
Company from that disclosed or projected in the information PaineWebber reviewed
as set forth above or in general economic or market conditions.  In rendering
its opinion, PaineWebber was not engaged to act as an agent or fiduciary of, and
the Company has expressly waived any duties or liabilities PaineWebber may
otherwise be deemed to have had to, the Company's stockholders or any other
third party.

     The preparation of a fairness opinion involves various determinations as to
the most appropriate and relevant quantitative methods of financial analyses and
application of those methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore,
such an opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary
description.  Furthermore, in arriving at its fairness opinion, PaineWebber did
to attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor considered by it. 
Accordingly, PaineWebber believes that its analysis must be considered as a
whole and that considering any portion of such analysis and of the factors
considered, without considering all analyses and factors, could create a
misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying its opinion.  In its
analyses, PaineWebber made numerous assumptions with respect to industry
performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of
which are beyond the control of the Company.  Any estimates contained in these
analyses are not necessarily indicative of actual values or predictive of future
results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than as set
forth therein, and neither the Company nor PaineWebber assumes any
responsibility for their accuracy.  In addition, analyses relating to the value
of businesses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the price at which
businesses may actually be sold.

     The following paragraphs summarize the significant analyses performed by
PaineWebber in arriving at the opinion of PaineWebber, dated November 14, 1995,
presented to the Board of Directors of the Company.

     STOCK TRADING HISTORY.  PaineWebber reviewed the history of the trading
prices and volume for the Common Stock, both separate and in relation to market
indices and the comparative company index.  The comparative company index
comprised four companies which PaineWebber deemed relevant including Bandag
Incorporated, Brad Ragan, Inc., Republic Automotive Parts, Inc. and TBC
Corporation (the "Comparative Companies").

     SELECTED COMPARATIVE PUBLIC COMPANY ANALYSIS.  Using publicly available
information, PaineWebber compared selected historical and projected financial,
operating and stock market performance data of the Company to the corresponding
data of the Comparative Companies.

     With respect to the Company and the Comparative Companies, PaineWebber
compared multiples of latest 12 months revenues, EBITDA, EBIT, net income, book
value, estimated (by International Brokers Estimate System or "IBES") 1995
earnings per share ("EPS") and estimated (by IBES) 1996 EPS.  PaineWebber noted
that, based on closing stock prices as of November 9, 1994, the Company's
revenue multiple was 0.45x versus a median revenue multiple of 0.46x for the
Comparative Companies; the Company's EBITDA multiple was 6.4x versus a median
EBITDA multiple of 6.5x of the Comparative Companies; the Company's EBIT
multiple was 7.7x versus a median EBIT multiple of 8.0x for the Comparative
Companies; the Company's net income multiple was 12.5x versus a median net
income multiple of 11.5x for the Comparative Companies; the Company's book value
multiple was 1.32x versus a median book value multiple of 1.51x for the
Comparative Companies; the Company's 1995 EPS multiple was 11.9x versus a median
1995 EPS multiple of 10.2x for the Comparative Companies; and the Company's 1996
EPS multiple was 10.5x versus a median 1996 EPSA multiple of 7.6x for the
Comparative Companies.

     PaineWebber applied the multiples of revenues, EBITDA, EBIT, net income,
book value, estimated 1995 EPS and estimated 1996 EPS calculated above to the
respective results of the Company which resulted in a range of possible equity
values for the Company based on the comparative company analysis of $11.87 to
$16.32 per fully diluted share of Common Stock.  PaineWebber then applied a
control premium of 30%, based on the Retail Industry Transactions premium
described in "Special Factors -- Opinion of Financial Advisor --Premiums Paid
Analysis," to such valuation range to determine a range of possible equity
values assuming a control premium.  Based on this analysis, PaineWebber derived
a range of possible equity values of $15.43 to $21.22 per fully diluted share of
Common Stock.

     DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW ANALYSIS.  A discounted cash flow analysis is a
traditional valuation methodology used to derive a valuation of a corporate
entity by capitalizing the estimated future earnings and calculating the
estimated future free cash flows of such corporate entity and discounting such
aggregated results back to the present.  PaineWebber performed a discounted cash
flow analysis of the Company based on the fiscal 1995 to 2000 financial forecast
for the Company provided by the Company management (the "Financial Forecast"). 
Using the information set forth in the Financial Forecast, PaineWebber
calculated the estimated "free cash flow" based on projected unleveraged net
income adjusted for: (i) certain projected non-cash items (i.e., depreciation
and amortization); (ii) projected capital expenditures; and (iii) projected 
non-cash working capital investment.

     PaineWebber analyzed the Financial Forecast and discounted the stream of
free cash flows provided in such projections back to December 31, 1995 using
discount rates of 13.0% to 17.0%.  To estimate the residual value of the Company
at the end of the Financial Forecast period, PaineWebber applied terminal
multiples of 6.0x to 7.0x to the projected fiscal 2000 EBITDA and discounted
such value estimates back to December 31, 1995, using discount rates of 13.0% to
17.0%.  Based on this analysis, PaineWebber derived a range of possible equity
values of $14.95 to $20.32 per fully diluted share of Common Stock.

     PREMIUMS PAID ANALYSIS.  Using publicly available information, PaineWebber
calculated the premiums represented by the Merger Consideration based on the
Company's closing stock price one day, one week and four weeks prior to public
announcement of : (i) the $18.50 per share offer from the Parent on December 5,
1994 (the "$18.50 Management Offer"); (ii) the Balboa shareholder proposal on
December 31, 1993 (the "Balboa Shareholder Proposal"); and (iii) Balboa's
initial 13-D filed on February 17, 1993, in which Balboa stated that it had
discussions with management regarding methods of increasing sales, cash flow and
profitability, and that it intended to continue such discussions with the
intention of assisting the Company in enhancing shareholder value (the "Balboa
13-D Filing").  PaineWebber determined that: (i) the premiums of the Merger
Consideration over the closing stock price one day, one week and four weeks
prior to the $18.50 Management Offer (which was made after the October 1994 AKH
offer of $18 per share) were 3.1%, 3.9% and a negative 0.8%, respectively; (ii)
the premiums of the Merger Consideration over the closing stock price one day,
one week and four weeks prior to the Balboa Shareholder Proposal were 18.9%,
15.8% and 14.8%, respectively; and (iii) the premiums of the Merger
Consideration over the closing stock price one day, one week and four weeks
prior to the Balboa 13-D Filing were 22.2%, 26.9% and 22.2%, respectively. 
PaineWebber noted that the premiums set forth in (i) above reflected the
announcement of the $18.00 per share AKH offer and the premiums set forth in
(ii) and (iii) above were based on stock prices that prevailed over 22 months
prior to the date of its opinion.

     PaineWebber compared the premiums calculated above with the historical
median premium paid in retail industry (as defined by Securities Data
Corporation ("SDC")) transactions announced between January 1, 1990, and
November 3, 1995 (the "Retail Industry Transactions").  PaineWebber determined,
based on information obtained from SDC, that the median of the premium of
offered price to closing stock price for the Retail Industry Transactions one
day, one week and four weeks prior to announcement of such transactions was
25.7%, 28.7% and 33.7%, respectively.

     Pursuant to an engagement letter between the Company and PaineWebber,
PaineWebber was paid a retainer fee of $50,000 at the commencement of its
engagement, a monthly retainer fee of $25,000 from August 31, 1994, and a fee of
$300,000 payable upon rendering its opinion on November 14, 1995, and will be
paid a fee of $600,000 upon the closing of the Merger against which the $300,000
fairness opinion fee and $250,000 of monthly retainer fees will be credited. 
PaineWebber will also be reimbursed for its related expenses.  The Company has
also agreed to indemnify PaineWebber, its affiliates and each of their
respective directors, officers, agents and employees, and each person, if any,
controlling PaineWebber or any of its affiliates, against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under federal securities laws.

     PaineWebber has previously provided investment banking services to the
Company had may provide financial advisory or other investment banking services
to the Company in the future.  In the normal course of its business, PaineWebber
may from time to time trade the debt or equity securities of the Company for its
own account and for the accounts of its customers and, accordingly, may at any
time hold a long or short position in such securities.

     PaineWebber is a prominent investment banking and financial advisory firm
with experience in the valuation of businesses and their securities in
connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary
distributions of securities, private placements and valuations for corporate
purposes.  The Company retained PaineWebber primarily because of the experience
of the PaineWebber personnel in evaluating businesses and seeking candidates to
acquire companies and because of the Investment Committee's perception of such
persons' overall understanding of the Shareholder Proposal.

     A COPY OF THE PAINEWEBBER FAIRNESS OPINION IS INCLUDED HEREIN AS APPENDIX
B.  STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ CAREFULLY THE PAINEWEBBER FAIRNESS OPINION IN
ITS ENTIRETY.

PLANS FOR THE COMPANY AFTER THE MERGER

     The Parent expects to continue the business and operations of the Company
substantially as they are currently being conducted by the Company and its
subsidiaries.  The Dealer Management Group of the Company, however, will
continue to evaluate the business and operations of the Company and will make
such changes as are deemed appropriate.

     The Parent is exploring ways to raise cash for working capital and other
general corporate purposes in addition to the financing sources discussed under
the heading "Financing of the Merger".  Although no agreement or arrangement has
been entered into with respect to any transaction, the types of transactions
under consideration by the Parent include the sale of certain parcels of
undeveloped real property adjacent to certain of the Company's regional service
center locations and certain Retail Store sites.  There can be no assurance that
an agreement with respect to any transaction will be reached or, if reached,
that any such transaction will be consummated.  It is anticipated that the
Company will not pay any cash dividends on its securities after the Merger.

     Except for the possible merger or liquidation of several subsidiaries of
the Company into the Company, the Parent does not have any present plans or
proposals which relate to or would result in an extraordinary corporate
transaction, such as a merger, reorganization, liquidation, relocation of any
operations of the Company or any changes in the Company's present
capitalization, corporate structure or business or, except as described above,
the sale or transfer of a material amount of assets involving the Company or any
of its subsidiaries or the composition of the Company's management.  The Parent
will from time to time be reviewing additional information and reviewing
possible options with respect to the Company and may propose or develop
additional or new plans or proposals or may propose the acquisition or
disposition of assets or other changes in the Company's business, corporate
structure, capitalization, management or dividend policy.

     It is also anticipated that the officers (other than Messrs. Siipola and
Mehlfeldt) and key employees of the Company will continue as employees of the
Company after the Merger.  Those officers who are shareholders of the Parent
(other than solely as a result of their participation in the ESOP) will be
compensated at substantially the levels of compensation they received in 1995,
with the exception of Mr. Cloward, whose compensation will revert in 1996 to the
level he was receiving as of January 1, 1995, and with the exception of Ms.
O'Reilly, whose 1996 compensation will be based on her compensation level in
1995.  It is expected that in most situations such persons will have
substantially equivalent positions with the Company.  In connection with the
consummation of the Merger, Messrs. Siipola and Mehlfeldt will not continue as
employees, officers, nor directors of the Company.  The Merger Agreement
provides that the board of directors of the Purchaser will become the board of
directors of the Company at the Effective Time.

     Following the consummation of the Merger, the registration of the Common
Stock under the Exchange Act will be terminated.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

     The discussion of federal tax consequences set forth below is directed
primarily toward individual taxpayers who are citizens or residents of the
United States.  However, because of the complexities of federal, state and local
income tax laws it is recommended that the Company's stockholders consult their
own tax advisors concerning the federal, state and local tax consequences of the
Merger.  Persons who are trusts, tax-exempt entities, corporations subject to
specialized income tax rules (for example, insurance companies) or non-United
States citizens or residents are particularly cautioned to consult their tax
advisors in considering the tax consequences of the Merger.

     GENERAL.  The following is a summary of the material federal income tax
consequences of the Merger to the Company and its stockholders.  This summary is
based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder, current administrative interpretations
and court decisions.  No assurance can be given that future legislation,
regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not
significantly change these authorities, possibly with A retroactive effect.  No
rulings have been requested or received from the Internal Revenue Service (the
"IRS") as to the matters discussed herein and there is no intent to seek any
such ruling.  Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not
challenge the tax treatment of certain matters discussed in this summary or, if
it does challenge the tax treatment, that it will not be successful.

     FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THE PARENT, THE PURCHASER AND THE
COMPANY.  The merger of the Purchaser into the Company, with the Company
surviving and with the Company's stockholders receiving solely cash in the
transaction, constitutes a taxable reverse subsidiary merger which will be
treated for federal income tax purposes as a direct purchase by the Parent of
the Common Stock from the Company's stockholders in exchange for cash and as
such the transitory existence of the Purchaser as the wholly-owned subsidiary
will be disregarded for federal income tax purposes.  Because the Company will
be treated as purchasing the Common Stock directly from the Company's
stockholders, unless a Code Section 338 election is made to treat the purchase
by the Parent of the Company's Common Stock as a purchase of the Company's
assets resulting in a stepped up basis in the Company's assets, no gain or loss
will be recognized by the Company as a result of the Merger.  Further, no gain
or loss will be recognized by Parent upon the receipt of the shares of the
Company's Common Stock from the Company's stockholders in exchange for cash, or
in the case of the ESOP and certain other of the Company's stockholders, in
exchange for shares of the Parent's common stock.  The payment by the Parent of
the Merger Consideration, which will be transferred by the Company to the
Company's stockholders upon surrender by them of their shares of Common Stock,
will be treated as a contribution by the Parent to the Company's capital and as
such the Parent's tax basis in the Common Stock will equal the amount of such
capital contribution.

     FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THE COMPANY'S STOCKHOLDERS.  Consistent
with the analysis described in the preceding paragraph, a stockholder of the
Company (other than a tax exempt trust or other tax exempt organization which
owns shares of the Company's Common Stock) will recognize gain or loss as a
result of the Merger, measured by the difference between such stockholder's
amount realized and its basis in the Common Stock.   

     To the extent that the ESOP receives shares of the Parent's common stock in
exchange for the shares of the Common Stock currently held by the ESOP, the
Company's management believes that the shares of the Parent's common stock
received and subsequently held by the ESOP should constitute a "qualifying
employer security" for federal income tax purposes which may be held by the
ESOP.  Even though the exchange of the shares of the Common Stock held by the
ESOP for shares of the Parent may not constitute a tax free reorganization under
the Code if integrated with the purchase for cash by the Parent of the Common
Stock held by the Company's stockholders as contemplated under the Merger
Agreement, the Company's management believes that because the ESOP, which will
hold the shares of the Parent's common stock, is a qualified trust under Code
Section 401(a), which is a tax exempt organization under Code Section 501(a),
the ESOP will not be required under Code Section 512(b)(5) to recognize gain or
loss as a result of such exchange transaction which would otherwise be taxable
under the Code.

     For noncorporate stockholders of the Company who hold Common Stock as a
capital asset, gain or loss recognized as a result of the Merger will be treated
as a capital gain or loss, provided that the Company is not treated for federal
income tax purposes as a "collapsible corporation."  In the opinion of the
Company's management, the Company is not a collapsible corporation for federal
income tax purposes.  Under the current provisions in effect as of the date
hereof, net capital gains (i.e., the excess of net long-term capital gain for
the taxable year over net short-term capital loss for such year) of an
individual stockholder will be taxed at a maximum rate of 28% in contrast to
items taxable as ordinary income which are subject to rates of up to 39.6%.  The
U. S. Congress is considering in connection with its proposed balanced budget
legislation a provision which would reduce the maximum tax rate on net capital
gains.  President Clinton has declared his intention to veto such legislation. 
The legislation, if any, which ultimately is enacted with respect to the
taxation of net capital gains and the effective date of any such legislation is
uncertain at this time.

     In the case of a corporate stockholder, capital losses are allowed only to
the extent of capital gains.  In the case of a noncorporate stockholder, capital
losses are allowed only to the extent of capital gains plus the lesser of (i)
$3,000 ($1,500 in the case of a married individual filing a separate return) or
(ii) the excess of losses over such gains.  Generally, a corporation may carry
its excess capital loss back three years or forward five years, subject to
limitation in the Code.  Generally, in the  case of a noncorporate taxpayer,
excess capital losses may be carried forward indefinitely and used each year,
subject to the $3,000 limitation ($1,500 in the case of a married individual
filing a separate return), until the loss is exhausted.

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF THE MERGER

     The Merger will be treated, for financial statement purposes, as a sale by
the Company's stockholders to the Parent for cash.  Accordingly, no gain or loss
will be recognized by the Company as a result of the Merger.  The Merger will be
accounted for by the Parent as a purchase.

REGULATORY APPROVALS

     There are no federal or state regulatory requirements that must be complied
with or approvals that must be obtained in connection with the Merger other than
the approval of the Company's stockholders as required by the Nevada General
Corporation Law.

FINANCING OF THE MERGER

     The Purchaser's obligation to consummate the Merger is conditioned upon,
among other things, the availability of sufficient funds to pay the Merger
Consideration and to replace certain existing indebtedness of the Company.  The
total amount of funds required for such purposes is approximately $65.1 million.
Of this amount, approximately $46.8 million will be used to pay the aggregate
Merger Consideration.  See "Information Pertaining to the Parent, the Purchaser
and Related Persons" for a description of the equity contributions to be made to
the Parent.

     Set forth below is a summary description of the financing for the Merger. 
Consummation of such financing is subject to, among other things, the
negotiation and execution of definitive financing agreements on terms
satisfactory to the parties thereto.  Because definitive financing agreements
relating to such financing have not been finalized, there can be no assurance
that the terms set forth below will be contained in such agreements or that such
financing will be obtained.

     The Purchaser has executed a commitment letter (the "Senior Commitment")
pursuant to which The First National Bank of Chicago ("First Chicago") has
committed to provide the Purchaser senior secured loans of up to $40,000,000
(the "Senior Loans").  The Senior Commitment will expire on November 30, 1995,
unless definitive loan documents are executed on or before such date.  The
Purchaser has submitted a written request to First Chicago to extend the Senior
Commitment expiration date.

     The Senior Loans will bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Purchaser's
option, either:  (1) First Chicago's Alternate Base Rate plus 1.75% per annum,
or (2) the Eurodollar Rate plus 3.0% per annum.  First Chicago's Alternate Base
Rate is the higher of (i) First Chicago's corporate base rate, or (ii) the
federal funds rate plus 1/2% per annum.  The Eurodollar Rate is the rate offered
by First Chicago in the London interbank market.  The Senior Loans will be
(a) secured by a first perfected security interest in, with certain exceptions,
all of the Company's assets, (b) subject to mandatory prepayment upon a sale of
equity or assets and upon the generation of cash exceeding certain targets to be
set forth in the definitive credit agreement, and (c) subject to a number of
conditions including, but not limited to, negotiation and execution of loan
documents which will include representations, warranties and covenants which are
satisfactory to First Chicago, completion of First Chicago's due diligence,
First Chicago's satisfaction with other components of the Merger including the
consideration to be paid, the equity contributions and the other debt
arrangements.  The Senior Loan consists of two facilities:  (1) a $20,000,000
term loan (the "Term Loan"), and (2) a $20,000,000 revolving credit (the
"Revolving Credit").  The Term Loan will (a) mature after six years, and (b) be
repaid in quarterly installments which shall be $500,000 per quarter in the
first year of the Term Loan, $750,000 per quarter in the second and third years
of the Term Loan, and $1,000,000 per quarter in the fourth through sixth years
of the Term Loan.  The Revolving Credit will mature in six years.

     On September 8, 1995, the Purchaser executed a commitment letter (the
"Mezzanine Commitment") pursuant to which BancBoston Capital Inc. ("BBC")
committed to provide up to $10,000,000 of mezzanine financing (the "Mezzanine
Loan").  The Mezzanine Loan will (a) bear interest at the rate of 12.5% per
annum, (b) mature in eight years (with quarterly payments of principal in the
amount of $833,333 commencing in the first quarter of the sixth year of the
Mezzanine Loan), (c) provide BBC with the right to appoint a board member to the
Board of the Parent, and (d) be subject to a number of conditions, including but
not limited to, negotiation and execution of loan documents satisfactory to BBC,
BBC's satisfaction with the other components of the Merger including the equity
to be contributed, the terms of the other debt and the execution of a number of
inter-creditor agreements.  In addition, the Mezzanine Commitment requires the
Purchaser to (a) provide a $50,000 non-refundable deposit, (b) pay a break-up
fee of $500,000 if the Purchaser consummates the Merger without utilizing the
Mezzanine Loan within one year of receiving the Mezzanine Commitment, (c)
maintain certain restrictive covenants, (d) execute acceptable loan and inter-
creditor agreements, (d) prepare an acceptable actuarial study of the Company's
ESOP repurchase obligations, and (e) issue a warrant to BBC to purchase 12% of
the equity in the Parent.  The warrant will provide BBC with (a) the right to
put the warrant to the Parent and (b) certain registration rights.

     The Company has also entered into agreements to refinance and extend some
of its existing debt in connection with the Merger.  Copies of the Senior
Commitment and the Mezzanine Commitment have been filed as Exhibits to the
Schedule 13E-3.  The Company intends to repay all such borrowed funds with funds
generated by the Company's operations.

REFERENCE TO THE MERGER AGREEMENT.  STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE MERGER
AGREEMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY FOR A MORE COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF THE MERGER.  THE
FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION ALSO CONTAINS OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE MERGER.

     TERMS OF THE MERGER.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser will
merge into and with the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving
corporation.  The Merger will occur immediately upon the filing of the
Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the
date and time of such filing referred to herein as "Effective Time").  The name
of the Company will remain "Big O Tires, Inc."  At the Effective Time, the
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company as in effect immediately
prior to the Effective Time until thereafter amended, will be the Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws of the Purchaser.  The officers and directors of the
Purchaser immediately prior to the Effective Time will be the initial officers
and directors of the Company until their successors are elected and qualified,
as the case may be.  At the Effective Time, all issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock owned by the stockholders of the Company other than the Excluded
Shares will be canceled and extinguished, and will be converted into the right
to receive the Merger Consideration.  Payments of cash to stockholders of the
Company and to option holders will be made as soon as possible after the
Effective Time upon surrender by holders of their certificates (in the case of
stockholders), together with the appropriate transmittal form, to the Exchange
Agent referred to below.  See "The Merger Agreement -- Exchange of
Certificates."  Each Excluded Share owned will be exchanged for one share of the
Parent's common stock.  In the Merger, each share of $.01 par value common stock
of the Purchaser which is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time will be converted into and become one share of Common Stock of
the Surviving Corporation.   As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate
existence of the Purchaser will cease and the Company will continue to operate
as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent.

     All properties and assets of every kind held by the Company and the
Purchaser at the Effective Time will become property and assets of the Company,
and the Company will continue to be liable for all of its obligations, debts and
other liabilities, as well as those, if any, of the Purchaser.

     The Company expects the Effective Time to occur before ________________,
1996.  The Effective Time cannot occur until all conditions to the Merger have
been satisfied or waived.  See "The Merger Agreement -- Conditions to the
Merger."

     The Merger Agreement provides for the exercise of appraisal or other rights
as may be available under Nevada law.  However, no appraisal rights or right to
dissent are available for the Merger under Nevada law.  See "The Special Meeting
- -- Absence of Appraisal Rights and Right to Dissent."  Consequently, if the
Merger is consummated, holders of all shares of Common Stock (other than holders
of Excluded Shares) will be required to accept the Merger Consideration.

     STOCK OPTIONS.  The Company is required by the Merger Agreement to make all
reasonable efforts to cancel and settle immediately prior to the Effective Time
each option to purchase shares of Common Stock or stock appreciation rights
(collectively, the "Options") which have been granted under any Company stock or
compensation plan or arrangements to all current or former employees of the
Company who are not directors, unless the holder has agreed to convert or
exchange without receipt of payment therefor, the Options for options or shares
of the stock of the Parent, the Purchaser or the Company.  Holders who are
directors of the Company, except Messrs. Steven P. Cloward and John B. Adams,
will have their Options canceled and will be entitled to receive only a cash
payment.  Each holder of an Option will be entitled to receive, in lieu of each
share which such holder otherwise would have received upon exercise of the
Option, cash equal to the amount (if any) by which $16.50 exceeds the exercise
price per share payable pursuant to such Option ("Option Settlement Amount")
provided that the Company is required to cancel for a lesser amount any Option
issued under a plan which allows the Option to be canceled for less than the
Option Settlement Amount.  Taxes and other required withholdings will be
deducted from the cash payments.  Messrs. Cloward and Adams, as stockholders of
the Parent and part of Senior Management, will convert their Options into
options to purchase the common stock of the Parent.  See "Information Pertaining
to the Parent, the Purchaser and Related Persons."  The Company is not permitted
to grant any additional Options except certain options that the Company may
grant on January 1, 1996, pursuant to the Company's Director and Employee Stock
Option Plan.  On or before the Effective Time, the Company will cause all of its
stock option, stock appreciation and compensation plans to be terminated.

     CONDITIONS TO THE MERGER.  The obligations of the Parent, the Purchaser and
the Company to effect the Merger are conditioned on, among other things (i) the
Merger Agreement receiving the requisite approval of the Company's stockholders
(see "The Special Meeting -- Vote Required to Approve the Merger"); (ii) there
being no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree, ruling or
law or regulation which would prevent the consummation of the Merger; and (iii)
and receipt by the Company of all material consents or authorizations from
governmental authorities or parties to contracts.

     The obligations of the Company to effect the Merger additionally are
conditioned on (i) the performance in all material respects by the Parent and
the Purchaser of the obligations to be performed by them at or prior to the
Effective Time; and (ii) the truth and correctness in all material respects of
the representations and warranties of the Parent and the Purchaser contained in
the Merger Agreement.

     The obligations of the Parent and the Purchaser to effect the Merger
additionally are conditioned on (i) the performance in all material respects by
the Company of the obligations to be performed by it under the Merger Agreement;
(ii) the truth and correctness in all material respects of the representations
and warranties of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement; (iii) the
Purchaser having received financing sufficient to consummate the Merger; (iv)

     The Merger Agreement also requires that the financial advisor to the ESOP
deliver an opinion that the consideration to be received by the participants in
the ESOP who elect to convert the Common Stock allocated to their accounts in
the ESOP into an investment in the common stock of the Parent, is fair from a
financial point of view to such participants.  On ________,  George K. Baum &
Company delivered its written opinion to the ESOP stating that the consideration
to be provided pursuant to such conversion is fair to the ESOP participants from
a financial point of view.  See "Special Factors."

     REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  The Company, the Parent and the Purchaser
have made certain representations and warranties to each other in the Merger
Agreement, including, among other things, representations and warranties
relating to their respective organizations, qualifications and capitalizations,
authorizations to enter into the Merger Agreement, that the Merger and Merger
Agreement do not conflict or fail to comply with any other agreements,
instruments, their organizational documents, the consents and approvals that
must be obtained in connection with the Merger, and the absence of brokers or

specified exceptions), including representations and warranties as to the

existence and status of employee benefit plans; and (f) the payment of taxes.

     CONDUCT OF BUSINESS PENDING MERGER.  The Merger Agreement provides that
neither the Purchaser nor the Parent will have any claim against the Company for
any breach of the covenants regarding the conduct of the Company's business
pending the Merger unless the action which resulted in the breach was approved
by the Board or Investment Committee and no attempt was made at a later date by
the body approving such action to prevent its occurrence, or was known of by a
member of the Investment Committee or the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board
and no attempt was made by the Investment Committee to prevent its occurrence.
In the Merger Agreement, the Company covenants and agrees that, prior to the
Effective Time, unless the Purchaser otherwise agrees in writing, or except as
disclosed in the Disclosure Certificate to the Merger Agreement or as otherwise
expressly contemplated by the Merger Agreement, neither the Company nor any of
its subsidiaries will take any action except in the ordinary course of business
and consistent with past practices, and the Company will use its best efforts to
maintain and preserve its business organization, assets, prospects, employees
and advantageous business relationships.  Even if the action proposed to be
taken would not violate the provisions described in the preceding sentence, but
would involve possible expenditures, contingent liabilities or the acquisition
or disposition of assets exceeding $100,000, any member of a committee
consisting of Messrs. John B. Adams, Steven P. Cloward, Horst K. Mehlfeldt and
John E. Siipola (the "Management Committee") has the right to object in writing
to the taking of such action prior to the time the Company is legally bound to
the taking thereof.  Any notice of objection must be delivered to all members of
the Management Committee and the contemplated action is not to be taken unless
the members of the Management Committee unanimously approve the taking of such
action.  If the action proposed to be taken would violate the provisions
described in the second sentence of this paragraph and would involve
expenditures or the acquisition or disposition of assets exceeding $100,000  in
value, the Management Committee is to be given advance written notice of all
such actions.  If any member of the Management Committee objects in writing
within five (5) days after written notice of such action is given to any such
noticed action, such action only is to be taken if the members of the Management
Committee unanimously approve the taking of such action or, failing such
approval, the Parent and the Company approve in writing the taking of such
action.

     The Company has also agreed that neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries will, directly or indirectly, do any of the following: (i) incur
any expenses in contemplation of a reorganization or restructuring of the
Company; (ii) amend its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or similar
organizational documents; (iii) split, combine or reclassify any shares of its
capital stock or declare, set aside or pay any dividend or make any
distribution, payable in cash, stock, property or otherwise with respect to its
capital stock; (iv) transfer the stock of any subsidiary to any other subsidiary
or any assets or liabilities to any new subsidiary or, except in the ordinary
course of business and consistent with past practice, to any existing
subsidiary; (v) adopt a plan of liquidation or resolutions providing for the
liquidation, dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the
Company except the Merger; (vi) amend, modify, change or replace the engagement
letter of PaineWebber; or (vii) authorize or propose any of the foregoing, or
enter into any contract, agreement, commitment or arrangement to do any of the
foregoing.

     In addition, the Company has agreed that neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries will, directly or indirectly: (i) issue, sell, pledge, encumber or
dispose of, or authorize, propose or agree to the issuance, sale, pledge,
encumbrance or disposition of, any shares of, or any options, warrants or rights
of any kind to acquire any shares of, or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable for any shares of, its capital stock or any other equity
securities, or any other securities in respect of, in lieu of, or in
substitution for shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of the Merger
Agreement except for shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options
outstanding on that date and which by their terms are or become exercisable at
or prior to the Effective Time; (ii) acquire (by merger, consolidation or
acquisition of stock or assets) any corporation, partnership or other business
organization or division thereof or make any material investment either by
purchase of stock or securities, contributions to capital, property transfer or
purchase of any material amount of property or assets, in any other individual
or entity; (iii) other than indebtedness incurred from borrowings made pursuant
to existing lending arrangements and other than as set forth in the Disclosure
Schedule to the Merger Agreement, incur any indebtedness for borrowed money or
issue any debt securities or assume, guarantee, endorse (other than to a Company
account) or otherwise as an accommodation become responsible for, the
obligations of any other individual or entity, or make any loans or advances,
except for advances to dealers and guarantees of leases made in the ordinary
course of business and consistent with past practice; (iv) release or relinquish
any material contract right; (v) settle or compromise any pending or threatened
suit, action or claim by or against the Company involving a payment by the
Company exceeding $100,000; or (vi) authorize or propose any of the foregoing,
or enter into or modify any contract, agreement, commitment or arrangement to do
any of the foregoing.

     The Company has also agreed that the Company and its subsidiaries will use
their best efforts to keep in place their current insurance policies, including
but not limited to director and officer liability insurance, which are material
(either individually or in the aggregate), and notwithstanding such efforts, if
any such policy is canceled, the Company will use its best efforts to replace
such policy or policies.

     The Company has agreed that neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries
will, and the Company will use its best efforts to cause its affiliates,
officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents not to, directly or
indirectly, solicit, initiate or participate in discussions or negotiations
with, or provide any information to, any corporation, partnership, person or
other entity or group (other than the Purchaser or an affiliate or an associate
of the Purchaser) concerning, or enter into any agreement providing for, any
merger, sale of all or substantially all assets, sale of shares of capital stock
or similar transactions involving the Company or any subsidiary or division of
the Company, provided that the Investment Committee on behalf of the Company may
furnish or cause to be furnished information and may participate in such
discussions or negotiations and enter into such agreement if it believes in good
faith, after consultation with its financial adviser and the receipt of written
advice of counsel as to the legal considerations involved, that the failure to
provide such information or participate in such discussions or negotiations or
enter into such agreement would be likely to involve the members of the
Investment Committee in a breach of their fiduciary duties.

     The Purchaser and the Company have each agreed to take all such reasonable
and lawful action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the
Merger as promptly as possible.

     ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS.  In the Merger Agreement, the Company, the Purchaser
and the Parent have agreed to certain other matters, including the preparation
of all documents required to be submitted under federal and state law to
stockholders and federal or state agencies; to submit the proposed Merger to a
vote of the stockholders of the Company, subject to the right of the Investment
Committee and the Board of Directors to withdraw their recommendations based on
the written advice of legal counsel or in accordance with the exercise of their
fiduciary responsibilities; the cancellation, settlement, conversion or exchange
of all outstanding Options as well as termination of all plans pursuant to which
such options are granted or issued; the payment of certain fees as set forth
below and to provide indemnification to certain directors and officers of the
Company and any of its subsidiaries.  See "Directors and Executive Officers of
the Company."

     FEES AND EXPENSES.  All costs and expenses, except as described below,
incurred in connection with the Merger are to be paid by the party incurring
such expenses.

     If (i) the Merger Agreement is terminated for any reason (ii) prior to such
termination (x) any Person (as defined below) (A) makes a written proposal to
engage in any transaction described in clauses (u) (v) or (w) of clause (iii) of
this paragraph (an "Acquisition Proposal") to the Company or any authorized
director, officer or agent or (B) publicly announces an Acquisition Proposal, or
(y) the Company or any authorized director, officer or agent of the Company
participates in discussions or negotiations with, or provides confidential
information to, any Person concerning an Acquisition Proposal, and (iii) within
one (1) year from the date of the Merger Agreement (u) any corporation,
partnership, person, entity or "group" (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), including the Company or any of its
subsidiaries but excluding the Parent, the Purchaser or any of their affiliates
and excluding any group of which Parent, the Purchaser or any of their
affiliates is a member (a "Person"), shall have acquired all or a substantial
portion of the assets of the Company or consummated a merger or consolidation
with, or other acquisition of, the Company (v) any Person shall have acquired
beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934) of 35% or more of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding, or (w) a
"change in control" of the Company involving a Person within the meaning of Item
1 of Form 8-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 shall have occurred, the
Company must promptly, but in no event later than five (5) business days after
consummation of any transaction referred to in clauses (u) (v) or (w) above, pay
to the Purchaser (by transfer of same-day funds to an account designated by the
Purchaser for such purpose) an amount equal to (i) $1,000,000, less (ii) any
funds paid by the Company to the Purchaser pursuant to the provisions described
in the second following paragraph; provided such amount shall be payable by the
Company with respect to any such transaction referred to in clauses (u) (v) and
(w) above only if (a) the transaction provides for the Company or the holders of
any shares of Common Stock being purchased in such transaction to receive
consideration per share having an indicated value in excess of $16.50 per share,
or (b) the amount of consideration received in such transaction is not readily
determinable on a per share basis and the Investment Committee or another
committee of one or more disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the
Company fails to make a good faith determination that such transaction is less
favorable to the stockholders of the Company from a financial point of view than
the Merger ((a) or (b) being a "Higher Offer").

     Prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company agreed to
advance up to $175,000 to the organizers of the Purchaser to cover their
expenses related to the formation of the Purchaser, the formulation of a
proposal to acquire the shares of Common Stock and the preparation and
negotiation of the Merger Agreement.  The Company also has agreed that it will
within five (5) business days after receipt of each notice of the incurrence
thereof by the Purchaser to the Company, advance to the Purchaser all
Reimbursable Expenses (as defined in the next paragraph); provided that the
Company is not obligated to pay under this paragraph in excess of an aggregate
amount of $750,000 (including the $175,000 referred to above, but excluding all
funds advanced or reimbursed with respect to Financing Fees (as defined in the
next paragraph), which expenses are not subject to such limit, but shall not
exceed $217,000; provided further, that the Company is not obligated to pay
under this paragraph in excess of an aggregate of $500,000 (including any
amounts advanced or reimbursed under the provisions described in this paragraph,
but excluding all funds advanced or reimbursed with respect to Financing Fees
which expenses are not subject to such limit, but shall not exceed $217,000)
unless 85% of the stores owned by the franchised dealers of the Company who
directly or indirectly are stockholders of the Purchaser and whose franchise
agreements expire prior to July 1, 1999 have extended the term of their
franchise agreements at least through the earlier of (x) July 1, 2002, or (y)
the date three (3) years after such franchise agreement would have expired;
provided that such franchised dealers will not be required to pay any fees in
connection with such extension.  Any franchised dealer of the Company who
directly or indirectly is a stockholder of the Purchaser and whose franchise
agreement expires on or after July 1, 1999, has the right to extend such
agreement for up to three (3) additional years without the payment of any fee in
connection with such extension.

     If the Merger Agreement is terminated or the Merger is not consummated for
any reason, the Company will, within five (5) business days after notice by the
Purchaser to the Company, reimburse the Purchaser for all reasonable out-of-
pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable commitment
fees, reasonable termination fees, reasonable attorney fees and expenses
incurred by potential lenders which the Purchaser is obligated to reimburse, and
other fees and expenses incurred in connection with arranging financing for the
Merger (collectively "Financing Fees"), legal fees and expenses, appraisal fees,
fees and expenses of financial advisors and fees and expenses for accountants)
incurred by the Purchaser, the Parent, or on their behalf in connection with the
preparation or negotiation of the Merger Agreement or of the transactions
contemplated hereby or otherwise incurred in contemplation of the Merger
Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement which have not otherwise been reimbursed by the Company ("Reimbursable
Expenses"), provided that (i) the Company is not obligated to pay under this
paragraph in excess of an aggregate of $750,000 (including any amounts advanced
or reimbursed under the above paragraph, but excluding all funds advanced or
reimbursed with respect to Financing Fees which expenses are not subject to such
limit but shall not exceed $217,000) (ii) except for the reimbursement or
advance of expenses related to Financing Fees, the Company is not obligated to
pay any additional amount under this paragraph if the Purchaser has been paid
the amount provided in the second paragraph above (iii) the Company has the
right to review all expense receipts (other than receipts which contain
privileged or confidential information), and (iv) the Company is not obligated
to pay under this paragraph in excess of an aggregate of $500,000 (including any
amounts advanced or reimbursed under the above paragraph, but excluding all
funds advanced or reimbursed with respect to Financing Fees which expenses are
not subject to such limit, but shall not exceed $217,000) unless 85% of the
franchised dealers of the Company who directly or indirectly are stockholders of
the Purchaser and whose franchise agreements expire prior to July 1, 1999, have
extended the term of their franchise agreements at least through the earlier of
(x) July 1, 2002, or (y) the date three years after such franchise agreement
would have expired; provided that such franchised dealers will not be required
to pay any fees in connection with such extension.

     MODIFICATION AND WAIVER.  The Merger Agreement may be amended by a written
instrument executed by each of the Boards of Directors of the Company (including
the Investment Committee), the Purchaser and the Parent, or the time for
performance of any obligation or act or compliance with any agreement or
condition may be extended or waived by a party, provided that no amendment which
would materially adversely affect the stockholders of the Company may be made
without further approval of the stockholders after approval of the Merger by the
stockholders has been obtained.

     Termination of the Merger Agreement.  The Merger Agreement may be
terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding approval of
the Merger by the stockholders of the Company, by mutual written consent of the
Boards of Directors of the Purchaser and the Company (including the Investment
Committee in the case of the Company).  The Company or the Purchaser may
terminate the Merger Agreement if: (i) the Effective Time has not occurred by
February 28, 1996; (ii) a condition of the Merger has not been satisfied by the
Effective Time, provided that the right to terminate is not available to a party
whose failure to fulfill any obligation under the Merger Agreement has caused or
resulted in the failure of the Effective Time to occur; or (iii) the Company has
received a bona fide Higher Offer which is not matched or exceeded by the
Purchaser within five business days and the Investment Committee withdraws or
changes in a manner adverse to the Purchaser its recommendation of the Merger.

     The Company may terminate the Merger Agreement for failure by the Purchaser
to  perform its obligations under the Merger Agreement in any material way or if
the representations and warranties of the Purchaser are not true in any material
respect.  The Purchaser may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Company enters
into or announces its intention to enter into another acquisition proposal which
would not qualify as a Higher Offer or anyone publicly announces or commences a
tender exchange or offer for the Company's Common Stock; or if certain
conditions of the Merger Agreement are unfulfilled by Company.  If the Merger
Agreement is terminated it will become void and have no effect except with
respect to obligations of the parties to maintain confidentiality of information
and with respect to payment of certain expenses.  See "The Merger Agreement --
Fees and Expenses."  However, a party will remain liable for willful default of
its obligations under the Merger Agreement.

     Exchange of Certificates.  As soon as practicable after the Effective Time,
Interwest Transfer Co., Inc. (the "Exchange Agent") will mail to each record
holder of certificates representing shares of Common Stock ("Certificates") that
were converted into the right to receive cash, a letter of transmittal advising
the holders of the procedure for surrendering Certificates for payment of the
applicable Merger Consideration.  Until surrendered, the Certificates will
represent only the right to receive the amount of Merger Consideration, without
interest, applicable to those shares represented by the Certificates.  If
payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a person other than the
person in whose name the Certificate surrendered for payment is registered, that
person will be responsible for paying, or establishing the payment or non-
applicability of any transfer or other taxes required.  After 180 days following
the Effective Date, a holder of Certificates may surrender the Certificates for
payment of the Merger Consideration only to the Company, but will have no
greater rights to payment than a general unsecured creditor of the Company. 
After the Effective Time, no transfers of Common Stock on the transfer books of
the Company will be made.  Certificates presented after the Effective Time will
be canceled and exchanged only for the applicable Merger Consideration.  From
and after the Effective Time, holders of Certificates will cease to have any
other rights with respect to the Common Stock, including rights to dividends or
voting rights.

     Upon surrender and exchange of a Certificate, the holder will be paid,
without interest, the applicable Merger Consideration, less any amounts required
to be withheld under applicable federal income tax backup withholding
regulations.  A holder who is a United States citizen and resident (other than a
corporation) may be able to avoid backup withholding by providing the Exchange
Agent with a correct taxpayer identification number in accordance with
instructions in the letter of transmittal.  Certificates should not be
surrendered until the letter of transmittal is received.

     No interest will accrue or be paid on the Merger Consideration upon
surrender of the Certificates.

                                                  since December 1995.


     All of the directors and executive officers of the Company are citizens of
the United States except for Horst K. Mehlfeldt who is a citizen of the Federal
Republic of Germany.

                      INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE MERGER

     As described below under the heading "Information Pertaining to the Parent,
the Purchaser and Related Persons," Steven P. Cloward and John B. Adams, both of
whom are directors and officers of the Company, will be shareholders, officers
and directors of the Parent.  In addition, Ronald D. Asher and Robert K.
Lallatin, directors of the Company, will be indirect shareholders of the Parent.
Finally, Ms. O'Reilly and Messrs. Findlay, Fryer, Jones, Lautzenheiser, Roquet,
Staker, Teigen and Ware, who are officers of the Company, will be shareholders
or shareholders and officers of the Parent.

     The Company has entered into Stock Appreciation Rights Agreements (the "SAR
Agreements") with John E. Siipola, Horst K. Mehlfeldt and Steven P. Cloward
effective February 15, 1995.  Each SAR Agreement grants each person 100,000
share equivalent units.  Each unit entitles each person to receive, in cash
only, the difference between $13.875 per share and the market value of a share
of common stock on the exercise date.  The right to exercise any units does not
vest until August 16, 1995.  Thereafter, each individual's right to exercise any
units vests at a rate of 16,662 units on August 16, 1995, and at a rate of 2,777
units on the 16th day of each month thereafter until the 16th day of January,
1998, at which time the 2,805 unvested units vest.  Such vesting shall occur
only if the person is in the full-time employ of the Company or any subsidiary
of the Company on each vesting date.

     By letters dated March 24, 1995, the Company confirmed to John E. Siipola
and Horst K. Mehlfeldt that, if a change in control of the Company took place
between February 15, 1995 and August 16, 1995, the Company would pay each a lump
sum payment of $150,000 if their positions with the Company terminated as a
result of such change in control.  The Company also confirmed to Steven P.
Cloward that any severance will be determined in accordance with the Company's
severance pay guidelines in effect on February 12, 1995 as it applied to his
1995 compensation (salary and bonus) program in effect as of February 12, 1995,
if his employment terminated before August 16, 1995.  The Company has now
entered into letter agreements with Messrs. Siipola and Mehlfeldt that provide
that Messrs. Siipola and Mehlfeldt each will receive a severance package
consisting solely of a lump sum payment of $150,000 minus any amounts they may
realize from the exercise of rights granted to them in the  SAR Agreements if
the Merger is consummated and if their employment with the Company terminates
within 285 days after the date of the Merger is effective or if during that
period their salary is reduced from the salary in effect on the date the Merger
is consummated.  Messrs. Siipola and Mehlfeldt have agreed that on the effective
date of the Merger, their SAR Agreements will terminate.  The Company also
entered into a letter with Mr. Cloward that provides that his severance
arrangement will continue through the effective date of the Merger provided he
agrees upon the effective date of the Merger that his SAR Agreement will
terminate.  The Board of Directors of the Company has authorized the extension
to a future date that will coincide with the Effective Time, as such time is
defined in the Merger Agreement, of temporary living and travel arrangements for
John E. Siipola.

     Steven P. Cloward and John B. Adams are participants in the Company's
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "Plan").  Pursuant to the Plan, upon
a change in control of the Company such as will occur as a result of the Merger,
each participant will be entitled to receive all amounts credited to the
participant's account.  Messrs. Cloward and Adams have elected to take their
distributions in lump sum payments rather than in monthly installments over 5 to
10 years.  The aggregate distributions to them will be $11,632.50 plus any
amount credited in 1996 for 1995.

     INDEMNIFICATION BY THE PARENT AND THE COMPANY.  The Merger Agreement
provides that Parent and the Company will enter into indemnification agreements
with each present director of the Company as of the Effective Time.  Regardless
of whether the Merger becomes effective, the Company will indemnify and hold
harmless each present and former director and officer of the Company and its
subsidiaries, including the members of the Investment Committee, from all
expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and penalties incurred in connection with
the defense or settlement, or successful disposition, of a proceeding in which
the indemnitee was involved by reason of being a director of the Company or
serving at the request of the Company as a principal of another entity. 
Indemnification is conditioned upon the indemnitee providing notice to the
Company.  Expenses may be advanced with the agreement of the indemnitee to repay
the advances if it is later determined that the indemnitee was not entitled to
such indemnification.  The Company is required to purchase an insurance policy
to be in effect for three years in order to provide coverage for the indemnitee
similar to that provided by for the Company's directors.

                        INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE PARENT,
                          THE PURCHASER AND RELATED PERSONS

GENERAL

     Pursuant to the Merger, the Purchaser will merge with and into the Company
and the Company will remain as the surviving corporation.  The result of the
Merger will be that the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Parent.  The Merger Agreement provides that the Board of Directors of Purchaser
will become the Board of Directors of the Company at the Effective Time.  As of
the date hereof, Steven P. Cloward and John B. Adams, both of whom are officers
and directors of the Company, and Scott E. Klossner, Michael E. Lyons and Wesley
E. Stephenson are the directors of the Purchaser and of the Parent.  In
addition, Messrs. Cloward and Adams and Philip J. Teigen, who is also an officer
of the Company, are the only officers of the Purchaser and of the Parent.  For
information pertaining to Messrs. Cloward, Adams and Teigen see "Directors and
Executive Officers of the Company."

     Upon consummation of the Merger, it is currently contemplated that the
equity ownership of the Parent will be as follows:  Big O Dealers, L.P. (the
"Dealer LP"), a California limited partnership, 50%; the ESOP, 35%; and Senior
Management, 15% (excluding the Management Restricted Stock [as defined below],
the shares "issuable" pursuant to the Dealer Warrant [as defined below], the
Sub-Debt Warrant, the ESOP Contributions [as defined below], and the Dealer
Purchase Bonus [as defined below] and assuming that the Management Options are
exercised as described below).

     The Dealer LP will be formed prior to the Effective Time, and its address
will be 1111 Broadway, 24th Floor, Oakland, California 94607.  Big O Tire
Dealers of America ("BOTDA"), a California corporation with its principal office
at 1111 Broadway, 24th Floor, Oakland, California 94607, is the general partner
of the Partnership.

     The Dealer LP (i) will contribute to the Parent an aggregate of $10,000,000
consisting of cash and shares of Common Stock (valued at $16.50 per share), (ii)
has encouraged certain of its members to extend their franchise agreements with
the Company, and (iii) has committed (on behalf of its members) to certain
minimum tire purchases the attainment of which will entitle the Dealer LP to
additional shares of stock ("Dealer Purchase Bonus").  Providing and conditional
upon the dealers attaining certain minimum tire purchases, Parent will issue to
the Dealer LP, bonus shares of the common stock of Parent ("Parent Common
Stock") in an amount equal to the number of shares issuable to the ESOP for the
years 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000.  The number of shares shall be
determined based on the ESOP contribution for such year divided by the most
recent appraisal price for the stock if the stock is not traded on an exchange
or the bid price if publicly traded ("Appraised Price").  At the Effective Time,
the Dealer LP will own 569,801 shares (50.00% assuming the Management Options
are exercised) of Parent Common Stock.  In addition, the Dealer LP will be
provided warrants to purchase an additional 120,000 shares of Parent Common
Stock exercisable five (5) years after consummation of the Merger at the
Appraised Price.

     Pursuant to a Confidential Private Placement Memorandum ("Memorandum"),
qualified franchised Dealers have been given the opportunity to subscribe to
invest in the Dealer LP, and thus, the opportunity to participate in the
acquisition of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement.

     On August 10, 1995, Steven P. Cloward and Wesley E. Stephenson received a
commitment letter from Kelly to loan the Dealer LP $5,000,000 (the "Dealer
Loan").  The Dealer Loan is subject to a number of contingencies including, but
not limited to, the completion of Kelly's due diligence, contribution of at
least $1,300,000 in equity by the Dealers to the Dealer LP, the participation of
80% of the Dealers in the Dealer LP and, execution of an agreement requiring the
Dealers to cause the Company to meet certain minimum tire purchases.

     It is anticipated that the Dealer LP will purchase the Common Stock it will
contribute to the Parent in a series of private transactions, as follows:

          As part of its required equity contribution to Parent, and in
     addition to the Dealer Loan, BOTDA has, on behalf of the Dealer LP,
     made a proposal to Balboa and Mr. Pavia to purchase the approximately
     309,500 shares of Common Stock owned and held by Balboa (the "Balboa
     Shares") at a price of $16.00 per share.  In addition, the Dealer LP
     has proposed to reimburse Balboa for expenses incurred by Balboa in
     putting together proposals for certain  stockholder actions and
     resolutions to the stockholders of the Company in 1993 and 1994 by way
     of proxy solicitations and related actions, which actions included
     proposals that the Company explore all alternatives to enhance the
     value of the Company (the "Reimbursement"); provided that the Dealer
     LP's Reimbursement obligation to Balboa shall not exceed the sum of
     $619,000.  Part of the purchase price for the Balboa Shares and the
     Reimbursement will be paid in cash with the remainder payable by way
     of a secured promissory note with interest of ___% per annum, fully
     amortized over a six-year period.  A copy of a draft stock purchase
     agreement with respect to the Balboa shares is attached as an exhibit
     to the Schedule 13E-3.

          In addition to the Dealer Loan and the proposal made to Balboa,
     and also as part of its required equity contribution to Parent, BOTDA
     has, on behalf of the Dealer LP, made proposals to certain current
     stockholders of the Company, thereby offering to purchase such
     stockholders' Common Stock at the price of $16.50 per share, payable
     partly in cash or equivalent with the remainder payable by way of a
     secured promissory note fully amortized over a six-year period.  A
     copy of a draft form of stock purchase agreement is attached as an
     exhibit to the Schedule 13E-3.

     The participants in the ESOP will also be offered the opportunity to become
shareholders of the Parent.  The Company has been advised that at or about the
same time the Company mails this Proxy Statement to the Company's stockholders,
the Parent will offer participants in the ESOP the opportunity to exchange, at
the Effective Time, the shares allocated to the participants' respective
accounts for shares of Parent Common Stock.  The ESOP shares will be exchanged
on the basis of one share of Parent Common Stock for one share of Common Stock. 
Unless waived by the Purchaser, one of the conditions to the Merger is that at
least 80% of the shares of Common Stock held by the ESOP be exchanged for shares
of the Parent Common Stock.  If such minimum exchange level is achieved, the
ESOP will own approximately _____% of the outstanding Parent Common Stock.

     The Company has amended the ESOP to provide for mandatory contributions to
the ESOP by the Company of at least 5% of the qualified earnings.  These
contributions will be made in the form of cash or Parent Common Stock (the "ESOP
Contributions").

     Senior Management will contribute 64,094 shares of Common Stock to the
Parent.  At the Effective Time, Senior Management will own an aggregate of
100,477 shares (9.39%) of Parent Common Stock.  In addition, members of Senior
Management currently hold Options to purchase 163,678 shares of Common Stock
which at the Effective Time will be converted into options to purchase the same
number of shares of Parent Common Stock which will allow the optionee to pay for
the exercise of an option by forfeiting other options (the "Management
Options").  If Senior Management were to exercise all such options immediately
after the Effective Time and pay the exercise price of such options through the
cancellation of other options, Senior Management would own approximately 14.0%
of the outstanding Parent Common Stock.  This would reduce the percentage
holdings in the Parent of the Dealer LP and the ESOP to 50.0% and 35.1%,
respectively.

     As part of their employment compensation, Senior Management will receive
120,000 shares of restricted Parent Common Stock (the "Management Restricted
Stock").  The Management Restricted Stock will vest over a period of five years.

     As described above, it is also anticipated that the Parent will issue the
Sub-Debt Warrant to BBC.  The Sub-Debt Warrant will provide BBC the right to
purchase 12% of the equity in Parent.

     4.   In June 1995, the Company loaned $75,000 to Brighton Automotive

                RECENT TRANSACTIONS BY THE COMPANY IN THE COMMON STOCK

     In May 1993, the Company consummated agreements with Continental General
Tire, Inc. ("General") resulting in the Company's repurchase of 400,000 shares
of the Company's Common Stock owned by General.  The agreements also resulted in
the repurchase and cancellation of warrants held by General to purchase up to
1,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.  The repurchase price for the
Common Stock and warrants was $6,100,000.  General previously held 11.27% of the
Company's outstanding Common Stock and no longer has any ownership interest in
the Company.  The agreement between General and the Company also resulted in the
repayment of revolving financing supplied by General in the amount of
$1,764,000, the termination of the existing supply agreement between the Company
and General and the termination of other related agreements.  Concurrent with
the termination of the supply and related agreements, the Company and General
entered into a marketing agreement whereby General agreed to continue to supply
Big O branded tires to the Company. In January 1994, the Company and General
agreed to terminate the marketing agreement.

     In June 1993, the Company sold 93,333 shares of the Company's Common Stock
to an unaffiliated person at a price of $12.75 per share.  After deducting the
concession paid to the broker-dealer that placed the shares and after deducting
the expenses of the offering, the Company realized approximately $1,100,000 from
the sale of the shares.  The Company used approximately $788,000 of such
proceeds to satisfy obligations related to the Company's 1988 acquisition of Big
O Tires of Louisville, Inc.  The balance of the net proceeds of approximately
$312,000 was used by the Company for general corporate purposes.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS
                          FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
                         SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND 1994
                                  UNAUDITED

NATURE  OF BUSINESS AND  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES:

REFERENCE  TO ANNUAL  REPORT:

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994, since certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC").  These interim financial statements reflect all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of Management, necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of
the Company for the interim periods.  Such adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature.  Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1995, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 1995.

STOCK OPTION PLAN:

On January 1, 1995, the Company granted options for 4,943 shares of the
Company's $.10 par value common stock ("Common Stock") to certain directors and
employees who elected to participate in the Company's Director and Employee
Stock Option Plan ("Plan").  As of September 30, 1995, the liability for the
options granted on January 1, 1995 pursuant to the Plan was approximately
$58,000.

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS:

In February 1995, the Company's Board of Directors granted Stock Appreciation
Rights ("SAR") to each of the three members of the Office of the Chief
Executive.  Each SAR agreement grants 100,000 share equivalent units, each of
which represents an equal undivided interest in the future appreciation in the
value of a share of the Company's Common Stock on the exercise date.  As of
September 30, 1995, no liability exists as a result of the SARs because the
value of the Common Stock was less than the base value, as defined in the
agreement.

In July 1995, the three members of the Office of the Chief Executive signed a
letter agreement stating, among other things, that the SAR agreements would
terminate and they would forfeit the unexercised SAR's as to all units, vested
and non-vested, if and when the proposed merger, described below, takes place,
subject to certain other conditions.

CREDIT FACILITY:

On January 23, 1995, the Company replaced its previously existing credit
facility with a $20 million Revolving Credit Agreement which expires January 22,
1998.  Borrowings under the agreement (limited to a portion of eligible
collateral) were $5,725,000 at September 30, 1995.  The agreement contains
various covenants and restrictions (including a restriction which precludes the
payment of cash dividends or the return of capital to shareholders) with which
the Company was in compliance at September 30, 1995.

SENIOR SECURED NOTES:

In April 1994, the Company sold 8.71% Senior Secured Notes in the aggregate
principal amount of $8,000,000, at par, which will mature in 1998 - 2004.  The
notes are collateralized by a deed of trust on land and buildings located in
Nevada and Idaho.  

UNEARNED  STOCK COMPENSATION:

On August 5, 1994, the Company made restricted stock grants for 28,478 shares
(net of subsequent cancellation of 5,188 shares) of the Company's Common Stock
and granted options for an additional 41,942 shares of the Company's common
stock to certain officers in accordance with the Company's Long Term Incentive
Plan ("LTI Plan").

In connection with the restricted stock grants, compensation expense is being
recognized over a vesting period of three to five years in accordance with the
provisions of the LTI Plan.  Compensation expense recognized for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1995, was approximately $56,000 and $216,000,
respectively.

FRANCHISE AND ROYALTY FEES:

The Company receives initial franchise fees and continuing royalty fees from its
franchised Big O dealers.  The initial franchise fees and continuing royalty
fees were $1,924,000 and $5,317,000 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995, respectively, and $1,867,000 and $4,952,000 for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1994, respectively.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL EXPENSE:

At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held in June 1994, the shareholders
adopted a resolution calling for the Company to engage an investment banker to
evaluate all alternatives for enhancing the values of the Company.  Action
pursuant to this proposal led to the Company entering into a merger agreement
with a group of the Company's franchised dealers and senior managers of the
Company on July 24, 1995.  The cost associated with the implementation of the
shareholder proposal for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 was
$419,000 and $967,000, respectively.

EARNINGS PER SHARE:

Earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding
shares during each period presented.  Common stock equivalents are included but
did not have a material effect on the computation.

LITIGATION:

As a franchisor and wholesale distributor, the Company licenses the use of its
trade names, service marks and trademarks to the Company's franchisees and other
licensees and distributes tire products manufactured by the Company's suppliers
("Suppliers") under the Company's trade names and trademarks.  As a result, the
Company has been named as a defendant in a number of lawsuits alleging negligent
acts and/or omissions by the Company's franchisees of alleged defective
workmanship and/or materials of the products produced by the Suppliers.  As of
September 30, 1995, there were 35 such lawsuits pending in which the Company was
named as a defendant.  Of those 35 lawsuits, only two directly involve the
Company.  The other 33 involve franchisees of the Company or alleged tire
failures of its Suppliers.  In most of the 35 lawsuits in which the Company is
named as a defendant, the claims for damages are not specific.  It is possible
that a judgment may be rendered against the Company in one or more of these
lawsuits but the Company is unable to estimate the amount of any such possible
judgments.  Over the past five years, the judgments that have been rendered
against the Company and settlements made by the Company in lawsuits similar to
the 35 lawsuits have not resulted in material losses to the Company.  Therefore,
based upon such history, the Company does not believe that the Company will
suffer any material loss as a result of the 35 lawsuits pending against the
Company on September 30, 1995.

The Company requires that both the Company's franchisees and Suppliers indemnify
and protect the Company against claims resulting from the alleged negligent acts
and/or omissions of the franchisees and the alleged defects in workmanship
and/or materials of its Suppliers.  In addition, the Company carries its own
insurance.  The 33 lawsuits referred to above are being defended by attorneys
who have been retained by the applicable insurance companies and the Company is
not actively involved in the defense thereof.  Historically, the Company has
been able to rely upon its franchisees and Suppliers and their insurance
carriers to defend, protect and indemnify the Company against such types of
lawsuits.  Accordingly, even if a judgment is rendered against the Company in
any of these lawsuits, because of the insurance and indemnities described above,
management does not believe that the Company would incur any loss as a result of
any such judgment.

The Company is also a defendant in eight additional lawsuits which are
incidental to the Company's business and for which the Company does not believe
it is liable, but which are not covered by insurance.  Thus, the Company is
directly and actively involved in its own defense and has sufficient information
to form a judgment on the likely outcome and exposure of such cases.  Based on
this analysis, the Company believes that the ultimate outcome of these cases
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements.


Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL

In June 1994, the shareholders adopted a proposal requesting the Company to
engage an investment banker to evaluate all alternatives to enhance the values
of the Company.  In implementing this shareholder proposal, the Board of
Directors established the Investment Committee of the Board which retained
PaineWebber Incorporated ("PaineWebber") to fulfill this shareholder proposal.

In June 1995, the Company's Board of Directors approved in principle a proposal
to recommend to the Company's shareholders that the shareholders sell at a price
of $16.50 per share to a group consisting of a group of the Company's franchised
dealers and senior managers (the "Acquisition Group").  In July 1995, the
Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with
BOTI Holdings, Inc. and BOTI Acquisition Corp., (collectively "Purchaser"),
companies formed by the Acquisition Group to accomplish the merger.  The Merger
Agreement is subject to approval of the Company's stockholders.  Among other
conditions, the consummation of the merger was also subject to the receipt of
fairness opinions, the Acquisition Group obtaining acceptable financing,
participation in the acquisition by not less than 80% of the shares held by the
Company's ESOP and participation in the acquisition by not less than 85% of the
franchised Big O Tire stores as of the date of the Merger Agreement.  In August
1995, the Purchaser presented to the Investment Committee of the Board of
Directors evidence of financing commitments subject to various contingencies,
the fulfillment of which would occur in the future.  The Investment Committee
reviewed the financing commitments obtained by the Purchaser and determined that
financing commitments existed, in the aggregate, for amounts sufficient to
provide funds to pay the merger consideration at that time.  However, the
financing contingency was not removed.  In October 1995, the Company received
notice that the Purchaser advised the Company that dealers owning 82% of the
Company's franchised tire stores, as of the date of the Merger Agreement,
elected to participate indirectly in the acquisition of the Company.  The
Purchaser advised the Company that while 82% is less than the percentage
specified in the Merger Agreement, such percentage was sufficient to enable the
Purchaser to proceed with satisfying certain financing contingencies and other
conditions of closing in the Merger Agreement and the Purchaser waived the 85%
contingency.

The Merger Agreement remains subject to approval by the Company's stockholders
and to the contingency that at least 80% of the shares held by the ESOP
participate in the acquisition.

By its terms, the Merger Agreement puts certain constraints on the Company's
conduct of business pending the merger.  These constraints provide that neither
the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall take any action except in the
ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices.  The Merger
Agreement also provides that any one member of a management committee,
consisting of the Chairman and Vice Chairman, and representatives of the
Purchaser, the President and the Executive Vice President of the Company, has
the right to object to expenditures, contingent liabilities or the acquisition
or disposition of assets which exceed $100,000 prior to the Company entering
into such transaction.  If the management committee cannot then unanimously
agree to such expenditures or asset disposition or acquisition, the Merger
Agreement provides that approval may be obtained in writing from the Company and
from BOTI Holdings, Inc.

It is estimated that the expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the
merger will be approximately $1,400,000 in the aggregate, comprised of
approximately $11,000 for filing fees, $950,000 for financial advisory fees,
$350,000 for legal fees, $48,000 for solicitation expenses, $25,000 for
directors' fees and expenses, and $16,000 for miscellaneous expenses.  In
addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse the Purchaser up to $750,000 for
its costs and expenses in structuring the merger and $217,000 for expenses
incurred in arranging the financing of the merger.  Costs incurred for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1995, were $419,000 and $967,000,
respectively.

Should the merger be approved, the Company anticipates that the surviving
corporation will require additional cash, including approximately $1.2 million
to retire the current senior notes and replace them with other financing,
approximately $2.0 million for fees associated with new debt financing, $300,000
for severance fees payable to two current officers who are not participating in
the acquisition, $750,000 for investment banker fees for the Purchaser, and
$250,000 in shareholder costs.  Additionally, approximately $750,000 will be
required to cancel stock options held by current directors and employees.

WORKING CAPITAL

At September 30, 1995, the Company had $21,756,000 in working capital (defined
as current assets less current liabilities), which represented a net decrease of
$2,911,000 from December 31, 1994.  Primary uses of working capital included the
purchase of the Las Vegas distribution facility for $7,972,000, purchase of
equipment of $1,404,000, and principal payments on long-term debt and capital
lease obligations of $1,992,000.  These uses were partially offset by working
capital derived from borrowings on the Company's line of credit and other
long-term debt of $3,009,000, proceeds from sales of property and equipment of
$2,999,000 and working capital provided by operations of $1,452,000.

The Company's net trade receivables at September 30, 1995, increased by
$4,368,000 as compared to December 31, 1994.  This increase resulted from the
effect of opening nine new stores (net of closures) during the first nine months
of 1995, normal seasonal increases, and continued success of the Company's
Cost-U-Less -TM- marketing program.

Inventories at September 30, 1995, increased by $3,532,000 as compared to
inventories at December 31, 1994.  This increase resulted primarily from higher
inventory levels needed to support the increased sales due to the impact of the
nine additional stores opened during the first nine months of 1995 and the
normal seasonal increase in stocking levels to provide an adequate supply of
products to meet anticipated higher sales volumes which normally occur during
the fourth quarter of each year.  Accounts payable at September 30, 1995,
increased $4,768,000 from December 31, 1994, as a result of the increased
inventory levels and extended payment terms on snow tires offered by the
Company's primary supplier.

LAS VEGAS RSC CONVERSION

In May 1994, the Company closed its Regional Service Center ("RSC") in
Vacaville, California, and consolidated its operations into the Ontario RSC. 
The Vacaville warehouse was leased to an unrelated third party.  In July 1995,
the Company sold this warehouse facility.  The cash proceeds from the sale were
used to reduce the outstanding loan balance with First National Bank of Chicago
("First Chicago").  In March 1995, the Company closed its RSC in Denver,
Colorado, and consolidated its operations into the newly opened Las Vegas RSC. 
The Denver RSC was sold to an unrelated third party in December 1994.  (See
discussion under "Financial Commitments" below.)  Ontario RSC operations were
fully converted to the new Las Vegas RSC in May 1995.  While the Company is
obligated under the lease for the Ontario warehouse through May 1998, it sublet
this property to an unrelated third party for the remainder of the lease term
starting June 1995.

The results for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, include a $320,000
charge associated with the conclusion of this warehouse consolidation.  This
charge resulted primarily from the sale of the Vacaville RSC facility at a price
less than previously anticipated as well as certain other costs that exceeded
expectations.

REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT

The Company's real estate development program involves Big O retail store site
selection and development by one of the Company's subsidiaries, and the
subsequent sale of these developed store sites to Franchisees that qualify for
Small Business Administration ("SBA") guaranteed loans.  Significant financing
is required by the Company, which is planned to be repaid as the SBA guaranteed
financing is obtained by the prospective Franchisee.  As of July 1995, permanent
financing had been approved for ten development projects through AT&T Capital
Corporation ("AT&T").  Due to the merger as described above, the agreement with
AT&T was terminated in August 1995.  While the Company plans on continuing this
real estate development program, the extent of this development has been reduced
significantly.  In connection with this reduction, $125,000 of costs relating to
terminated projects was expensed during the third quarter, 1995.  The Company
anticipates funding future projects through its revolving line of credit, joint
ventures or directly with developers.

The Company completed the sales of eight real estate holdings during the first
nine months of 1995, including two during the third quarter of 1995.  Five of
these real estate sales involved projects developed under the Company's real
estate development program, one related to a land sale for a site the Company
elected not to develop, and two sales related to retail properties previously
held as investments that the Company elected to sell.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

At September 30, 1995, the Company's subsidiary that is implementing the real
estate development program had approximately $3.1 million invested in
construction in progress for Big O retail store sites, an increase of $1.1
million since December 31, 1994.  Additional capital expenditures are
anticipated in connection with these real estate development activities, which
are anticipated to be funded through the Company's revolving line of credit,
joint ventures or directly with developers.

In February 1995, the Company acquired the Las Vegas RSC at a total cost of
approximately $7,972,000.  New equipment, including computer hardware and
software to operate this facility, will require approximately $1,400,000 in 1995
capital expenditures of which approximately $880,000 has been incurred as of
September 30, 1995.  The Company is financing this equipment through its
existing revolving line of credit.

FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS

The Company's current operations are primarily funded through its revolving line
of credit with First Chicago which has a 1995 sub-limit of $6 million for
construction and permanent financing pursuant to the Company's real estate
development program.

Limited financing for the Company's real estate development was previously
provided by AT&T through an $11.75 million revolving credit line.  In August
1995 the Company and AT&T mutually agreed to terminate this credit line for all
projects unfunded at that time.

In the fourth quarter of 1994 the Company sold approximately $3 million of long
term notes receivable.  The Company successfully negotiated the sale of an
additional $.8 million of long term notes receivable in July 1995 and
approximately $.2 million in October 1995.

Management's discretion with respect to certain business matters is limited by
financial and other covenants contained in loan agreements with First Chicago,
the senior note holders, Kelly-Springfield Tire Company (a division of The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company) and other lenders.  These covenants, among other
things, limit or prohibit the Company from (i) paying dividends on its capital
stock, (ii) incurring additional indebtedness, (iii) creating liens on or
selling certain assets, (iv) making certain loans, investments, or guarantees,
(v) violating certain financial ratios, (vi) repurchasing shares of its common
stock, (vii) making certain capital expenditures, and (viii) merging or selling
substantially all of its assets.  At September 30, 1995, the Company was in
compliance with all of these covenants.

The Company has received notice from the senior note holders that the
consummation of the proposed merger will be an event of default, thus creating a
covenant violation.  It is the Company's understanding that the Acquisition
Group is seeking replacement financing at this time.  In compliance with the
terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company is contacting its other current
lenders and lessors where necessary in order to obtain the consents necessary
for the consummation of the merger.

The Company's continuing guarantees at September 30, 1995 were comprised
principally of the following:

     Retail store financing                $4.1 million
     Notes receivable guarantees            1.6 million
     Real estate lease guarantees           6.0 million
     Employee Stock Ownership Plan           .2 million
     Denver RSC mortgage loan               2.8 million

SEASONALITY

The franchised and Company-owned retail stores experience some seasonal
variation in product sales because the sale of tires, wheels, and related
automotive products are generally greater during the summer months than in the
winter months.  The Company generally experiences some seasonality, although not
to the same extent as the retail stores, since the Company maintains sales to
certain retail stores on a regional basis (e.g., snow tires and chains) that
offset the trend on a national basis. 

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

The Company and its franchisees are subject to federal and state environmental
regulations regarding the disposal of tires and used oil, and the handling and
storage of certain other substances.  Such regulations have not previously had a
material effect on the Company's operations, and management does not believe
that they will have a material effect in the future since the Company has
adopted a policy of requiring Phase I environmental studies for any new projects
or the acquisition of any existing locations before such transactions are
consummated.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 114,
ACCOUNTING BY CREDITORS FOR IMPAIRMENT OF A LOAN, effective January 1, 1995. 
The adoption of this FAS did not have a material effect on the Company's
financial position nor results of operations for the nine months ended September
30, 1995.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF
LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF, which is required
to
be implemented for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 1996.  The
earlier adoption of this FAS would not have materially affected the Company's
financial position nor results of operations for the nine months ended September
30, 1995.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

REVENUES

Net sales for the third quarter, 1995 increased by $4,090,000 as compared to the
third quarter, 1994 and net sales for the first nine months 1995 increased by
$13,540,000 over the first nine months of 1994.  The sale of Big O brand units
increased by approximately 177,000 units (an increase of 17.5%) during the first
nine months of 1995 as compared to the corresponding period for 1994, and the
sale of other new tires decreased by approximately 46,000 units (a decrease of
12.5%) during the same period.  The average selling price of Big O brand units
increased by $0.15 per unit (an increase of 0.3%) for the first nine months of
1995 as compared to the first nine months of 1994.  The average selling price of
other new tires decreased by $0.57 (a decrease of 1.5%) during the first nine
months of 1995 as compared to the corresponding period in 1994.  This decrease
was in response to increased competition in the industry and came in spite of
announced industry price increases.

Net sales for the third quarter of 1995 increased $4,090,000 as compared to the
third quarter of 1994, of which $1,191,000 related to the sale of two Company
developed real estate projects during the third quarter 1995.  Other increases
included an increase of $1,123,000 in sales to existing dealers, sales to new
franchisees of $1,840,000 and an increase in royalty revenues of $57,000.  These
increases were partially offset by a decrease of $487,000 which resulted from
the closing of franchisee retail stores which were operating during the third
quarter of 1994 but not 1995.

The increase in sales of $13,540,000 for the first nine months of 1995 included
an increase of $4,530,000 related to real estate sales, an increase of
$4,683,000 in sales to existing dealers, sales to new franchisees of $4,862,000
and an increase of $366,000 in royalty revenues.  These increases were partially
offset by decreases in sales of $1,132,000 related to the closing of franchised
and Company-owned retail stores and $330,000 related to the sale of
Company-owned retail stores.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the third quarter 1995 increased by $391,000 as compared to the
third quarter of 1994, including an increase of $63,000 related to real estate
sales in 1995.  The Company's product and franchising gross margin was 20.0% for
the third quarter of 1995 which represented a .6% decrease as compared to the
third quarter of 1994.  This decrease in gross margin generated a decrease in
gross profit of $270,000, which was offset by an increase in gross profit of
$598,000 attributable to the higher product and franchising sales volumes.  The
decrease in gross margin was primarily due to increased warranty and freight
expenses during the third quarter of 1995 over the third quarter of 1994.

Gross profit for the first nine months of 1995 increased by $1,006,000 as
compared to the first nine months of 1994, including an increase related to real
estate sales in 1995.  The Company's product and franchising gross margin was
22.0% for the first nine months of 1995, a decrease of 1.3% from the first nine
months of 1994.  An increase in gross profits of $2,099,000 was attributable to
the higher product and franchising sales volumes during the first nine months of
1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.  This increase was partially offset
by the decrease of $1,298,000 due to the decrease in the gross margin which was
primarily related  to the Company's Cost-U-Less -TM- marketing program.

NET EXPENSES

Selling and administrative expenses increased $367,000 for the third quarter of
1995 from the third quarter of 1994.  This increase consisted primarily of an
increase in the provision for bad debts of $282,000, an increase of $125,000
related to costs associated with terminated real estate development projects and
an increase of $100,000 related to the writedown in value of one real estate
parcel.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in payroll and
related expenses of approximately $126,000.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased $100,000 for the first nine months
of 1995 as compared to the first nine months of 1994.  This decrease was
primarily due to decreases related to the sale or closure of Company-owned
retail stores and decreases in the Company's proportionate share of joint
venture losses.  These decreases were offset by increases related to the
provision for bad debts, additional costs associated with terminated real estate
development projects and writedowns in value for certain real estate projects. 
Increases in selling and administrative expenses were also associated with
closing the Denver and Ontario RSC's and starting up of the new Las Vegas RSC
during 1995.

Interest expense decreased by $144,000 for the third quarter of 1995 as compared
to the same period for 1994.  This decrease was primarily due to interest
concessions offered by a subordinated lender which was recorded in the third
quarter 1995 and also the assumption by the buyer of the Denver RSC mortgage
loan in December 1994.  Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 decreased by $22,000.  This decrease resulted primarily from the
elimination of the Denver RSC mortgage loan which was offset somewhat by
increased borrowings under the Company's line of credit during the first half of
1995 for increased financing needs for the consolidation of three of the
Company's RSC's into the new Las Vegas RSC.

     a.     Exhibits

          The following Exhibits are filed as part of this report and are
attached hereto:

         (10.1)  Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Joint Interest; Dissolution
of Joint Venture; and Continuation of Businesses by Acquiring Joint Ventures
dated effective October 1, 1994, by and between Big O Retail Enterprises, Inc.,
a Colorado corporation ("Seller") and C.S.B. Partnership, a California general
partnership ("Purchaser").

         (27.1) Financial Data Schedule for Third Quarter, 1995.

     b.     Reports on Form 8-K

     On July 25, 1995, as amended on July 27, 1995, the Company filed a Current
Report on Form 8-K/A announcing under Item 5 that on July 24, 1995, the Company
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with BOTI
Holdings, Inc. and BOTI Acquisition Corp.  The Merger Agreement provides that
BOTI Holdings, Inc., through its subsidiary BOTI Acquisition Corp., will acquire
the Company in a merger in which the Company's shareholders will receive a cash
price of $16.50 per share.  The merger is subject to the approval of the
Company's stockholders.

     The Company also reported that it amended the Rights Agreement dated August
26, 1994 between the Company and Interwest Co., Inc. to specifically exclude
from the definition of an "Acquiring Person", BOTI Holdings, Inc., BOTI
Acquisition Corp., an entity to be formed directly or indirectly by persons who
are currently franchisees of the Company, any other person who may be deemed to
be the beneficial owner of the Company's Common Stock because of the execution
and delivery of the Merger Agreement and any group consisting of two or more of
the foregoing.

     The Company also filed under Item 7 of Form 8-K/A the Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated July 24, 1995 and the Amendment to Rights Agreement dated as of
July 24, 1995.

     On August 17, 1995, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K dated
August 17, 1995, announcing under Item 5 that on August 16, 1995, BOTI Holdings,
Inc. and BOTI Acquisition Corp. ("Purchaser") presented to the Investment
Committee of the Board of Directors evidence of financing commitments subject to
various contingencies, the fulfillment of which would occur in the future.  The
Investment Committee reviewed and determined that the Acquisition Group's
financing commitments, in the aggregate, were for amounts sufficient to provide
funds to pay the merger consideration.

     On September 5, 1995, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K, dated
September 5, 1995, announcing that on August 31, 1995, the Company agreed to a
request made by the Purchaser to extend until October 2, 1995, the date on which
the Company or the Purchaser would be able to terminate the Merger Agreement if
prior to October 2, 1995, the Purchaser had not satisfied or waived the
contingency in the Merger Agreement that required participation in the
acquisition by the Company's dealers owning not less than 85% of the franchised
Big O Tire stores ("Dealer Participation Contingency").  As a part of the
agreement, the Purchaser agreed that the Company could delay incurring
additional expenditures with respect to its proxy statement until the Company
had been advised that the Dealer Participation Contingency had been satisfied or
waived, and the Company was satisfied that a fairness opinion would be received
by the participants in the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan in connection
with the proposed merger.  The Company also filed under Item 7 of Form 8-K the
Letter Agreement dated August 31, 1995, by and among the Company, BOTI
Acquisition Corp., and BOTI Holdings, Inc.

     On October 4, 1995, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K dated
October 4, 1995, announcing under Item 5 that on October 2, 1995, the Company
agreed to a request made by the Purchaser to extend until October 16, 1995, the
date on which the Company or the Purchaser would be able to terminate the Merger
Agreement, if prior to October 16, 1995 the Purchaser Group had not satisfied or
waived the Dealer Participation Contingency.  As part of the agreement, the
Purchaser agreed that the Company would agree to no further changes to Section
7.1(f) of the Merger Agreement and the Company could delay incurring additional
expenditures with respect to its proxy statement until the Company has been
advised that the Dealer Participation Contingency had been satisfied or waived. 
The Company also filed under Item 7 of Form 8-K the Letter Agreement dated
October 2, 1995, by and among the Company, BOTI Acquisition Corp., and BOTI
Holdings, Inc.

     On October 18, 1995, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K dated
October 18, 1995, announcing that on October 15, 1995, the Company received
notice from the Purchaser that the Purchaser elected to waive the Dealer
Participation Contingency.  The Purchaser advised the Company that dealers
owning 82% of the Company's franchised tire stores, as of the date of the Merger
Agreement, had elected to participate indirectly in the acquisition of the
Company.  The Purchaser advised the Company that while 82% is less than the
percentage specified in the Merger Agreement, such percentage is sufficient to
enable the Purchaser to proceed with satisfying other conditions of closing in
the Merger Agreement.  The Company also filed under Item 7 of Form 8-K the
Letter dated October 15, 1995, from BOTI Acquisition Corp. and BOTI Holdings,
Inc.
