This Amendment No. 12 to the Schedule 13D filed on December 12, 1994
(the "Schedule 13D") relates to the shares of common stock, $.10 par value per
share ("Shares"), of Big O Tires, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Big O"), and is
being filed by the following parties (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"):
Big O Tire Dealers of America ("BOTDA")
MEMBERS OF MANAGEMENT
John B. Adams
Steven P. Cloward
Dennis J. Fryer
Allen E. Jones
Kelly A. O'Reilly
Gregory L. Roquet
Thomas L. Staker
Philip J. Teigen
Bruce H. Ware

Ron Lautzenheiser
The principal executive offices of Big O are located at 11755 East Peakview
Avenue, Englewood, Colorado 80111.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
As previously disclosed, the Reporting Persons and the directors and
officers of BOTDA each acquired the Shares reported herein at various times in
the past solely for the purpose of investment. Each such person retains the
absolute right to vote his Shares as he individually determines.
As disclosed in the Schedule 13D, on December 2, 1994, certain members
of Big O's management and certain Big O dealers (the "Original Offerors")
submitted an offer to Big O to acquire all of the outstanding Shares not owned
by them for $18.50 per share in a cash merger (the "Acquisition Proposal"). The
Acquisition Proposal was subject to a number of conditions including the
Original Offerors' ability to obtain the necessary financing. Although the
Acquisition Proposal expired by its terms on December 5, 1994, the Original
Offerors continued to negotiate with the independent Directors of Big O with
respect to an acquisition of Big O on the terms set forth in the Acquisition
Proposal.
As disclosed in Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D, on February 7,
1995, the Original Offerors determined not to continue negotiations with the
Investment Committee of the Board of Directors of Big O (the "Investment
Committee") in light of the difficulties they had experienced in obtaining
commitments for elements of the financing necessary to consummate the
acquisition and the resulting inability of the representatives of the dealers
and management to reach mutual understandings on certain fundamental issues
relating to the acquisition. The Original Offerors who were members of Big O's
management continued to be interested in consummating a purchase of Big O on
terms mutually agreeable to the Big O franchised dealers, management,
shareholders and independent Directors and separately and independently
continued to pursue such a possible transaction to the extent it appeared
possible that a satisfactory definitive agreement among those parties could be
achieved and that financing for such a transaction could be secured. The
Original Offerors who were franchised Big O dealers also remained interested in
consummating a purchase of Big O on such terms and separately and independently
continued their efforts to the extent they believed such a transaction remained
viable.
As disclosed in Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D, on March 2 and 3,
1995, the representatives of the Reporting Persons met and evaluated the
possibility of reopening negotiations with the Investment Committee regarding
the acquisition of all of the outstanding Shares. The Reporting Persons
determined to contact the Investment Committee regarding such negotiations. The
Reporting Persons believed that if an agreement was to be reached regarding such
a transaction, the price per share of Shares of Big O would have to be below the
price of $18.50 per share previously discussed.

As disclosed in Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D, on April 6, 1995,
the representatives of the Reporting Persons submitted an offer to Big O to
acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Big O not owned by them
for $16.00 per share in a cash merger (the "$16 Proposal"). The $16 Proposal was
subject to a number of conditions including the ability of the Reporting Persons
to obtain the necessary financing, the participation of a minimum number of Big
O dealers and a minimum number of participants in Big O's ESOP, and the
execution of a definitive merger agreement. The $16 Proposal expired on April
13, 1995.
As disclosed in Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D, BOTDA continued
to discuss with Mr. Kenneth Pavia the possibility of acquiring the Shares owned
or controlled by Mr. Pavia at the purchase price of $16.00 per share and
reimbursing Mr. Pavia for the amount of the actual costs and expenses incurred
by Mr. Pavia or entities controlled by him in connection with all matters
pertaining to the shareholder proposal submitted by Mr. Pavia to Big O on
December 21, 1993, proposing that the shareholders of Big O recommend that the
Board of Directors of Big O engage the services of a nationally recognized
investment banker to explore all alternatives to enhance the value of Big O;
provided that, the expense and cost reimbursement shall not exceed $625,000.
Such sale, if any, would be for cash, securities or some combination thereof,
and would be on terms and conditions agreed upon by the parties. It was
anticipated that any such acquisition would be pursuant to and contingent upon,
among other things, the completion of the acquisition of Big O.
As disclosed in Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D, on May 30, 1995,
certain of the Reporting Persons mailed proxy materials regarding two precatory
proposals which those Reporting Persons intended to bring before the annual
meeting of the Big O's shareholders on June 7, 1995 (the "Proxy Materials"). The
Proxy Materials were sent to only ten (10) of Big O's larger shareholders
(including Mr. Pavia) and no general solicitation of proxies was made by the
Reporting Persons. Because so few shareholders were to be contacted, the
Reporting Persons did not anticipate that their proposals would be approved by a
majority of the outstanding shares. However, this limited inquiry was conducted
in an attempt to demonstrate to the Investment Committee that shareholder
support exists for the proposals. The proposals in the Proxy Materials relate to
recommending to the Board of Directors that the Board of Directors: (1)
eliminate Big O's shareholder rights plan, and (2) commence the good faith
consideration of the $16 Proposal. At that time, BOTDA had been informed that
Mr. Pavia supported the proposals.

As disclosed in Amendment No. 6 to the Schedule 13D, on June 2, 1995,
following extensive negotiations with the Investment Committee, the
representatives of the Reporting Persons submitted an offer to Big O to acquire
all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Big O not owned by them for
$16.50 per share in a cash merger (the "Merger Proposal"). The Merger Proposal
was subject to a number of conditions including the ability of the Reporting
Persons to obtain the necessary financing, the participation of a minimum number
of Big O dealers, the participation of a minimum number of participants in Big
O's ESOP, and the execution of a definitive merger agreement. The Merger
Proposal was to expire on June 7, 1995.
As disclosed in Amendment No. 7 to the Schedule 13D, on June 7, 1995,
the representatives of the Reporting Persons and Big O executed a letter
agreement (the "Letter Agreement") in which Big O accepted the Reporting
Persons' offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Big O
not owned by them for $16.50 per share in a cash merger. The Letter Agreement
further provided, among other things, for the reimbursement of certain expenses
of the Reporting Persons in their efforts to consummate the merger and the
indemnification of the Reporting Persons and others. The reimbursement of
expenses above a certain level was contingent upon certain dealers extending the
length of their franchise agreements with Big O. The Letter Agreement was
subject to a number of conditions including the ability of the Reporting Persons
to obtain the necessary financing, the participation of a minimum number of Big
O dealers, the participation of a minimum number of the shares owned by
participants in Big O's ESOP, and the execution of a definitive merger
agreement.
As disclosed in Amendment No. 8 to the Schedule 13D, on July 24, 1995,
BOTI Holdings, Inc., a company owned by certain of the Reporting Persons, BOTI
Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of BOTI Holdings, Inc., and Big O
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement"). The Agreement
provides for the acquisition of all outstanding shares of common stock of Big O
not owned by the Reporting Persons for $16.50 per share in a cash merger. The
Agreement is subject to a number of conditions including the ability of the
Reporting Persons to obtain the necessary financing, the participation of a
minimum number of Big O dealers and the participation of holders of a minimum
number of Shares held by Big O's ESOP.

As disclosed in Amendment No. 11 to the Schedule 13D, on November 7,
1995, made a proposal to Mr. Kenneth Pavia to acquire all Shares owned or
controlled by Mr. Pavia, in the form of a Draft Stock Purchase Agreement. The
Draft Stock Purchase Agreement provides for the purchase by BOTDA of all Shares
owned or controlled (directly or indirectly) by Mr. Pavia at the purchase price
of $16.00 per share and reimbursing Mr. Pavia for the amount of the actual costs
and expenses incurred by Mr. Pavia or entities controlled by him in connection
with all matters pertaining to the shareholder proposal submitted by Mr. Pavia
to Big O on December 21, 1993, proposing that the shareholders of Big O
recommend that the Board of Directors of Big O engage the services of a
nationally recognized investment banker to explore all alternatives to enhance
the value of Big O; provided that, the expense and cost reimbursement shall not
exceed $625,000. These Shares would be purchased by BOTDA for a combination of
cash and promissory notes, in such amounts to be negotiated.
As disclosed in Amendment No. 11 to the Schedule 13D, BOTDA made
proposals to certain other shareholders of the Company to acquire their shares
at a price of $16.50 per share. Any such purchase will be at a price of $16.50
per Share payable in a combination of cash and promissory notes in such amounts
to be negotiated.
The Merger Agreement dated as of July 24, 1995 (the "Agreement"),
provides that either party may terminate the Agreement if the merger has not
been completed on or before February 28, 1996 (the "Termination Date"), or if
any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 of the Agreement has not been
completed by that date, provided that in either case such a termination right
shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill an obligation under
the Agreement has resulted in the failure of the closing of the Agreement prior
to such date. Therefore, either party may now terminate the Agreement if such
party was not responsible for the failure to close. The only conditions under
Section 6.1 which have not been met are the obtaining of approval of the
Agreement by the stockholders of Big O and the delivery of a fairness opinion
from the ESOP's financial advisor. In addition, a number of conditions to the
consummation of the merger, in addition to those set forth in Section 6.1, have
not yet been satisfied.
The Proxy Statement (the "Proxy Statement") prepared by Big O and
required for stockholder approval of the merger was filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 20, 1995. Since the Company has
not yet resolved all of the SEC's comments on the Proxy Statement, it is
unlikely that the Company will be able to hold the requisite meeting of its
stockholders and close the Agreement in less than 20 days.

Although the Company has not attempted to terminate the Agreement, on
February 29, 1996, the Company announced that it has commenced negotiations with
TBC Corp. ("TBC") regarding a possible acquisition of the Company by TBC.
Although BOTI is willing to continue to pursue its efforts to close
the Agreement, given the Company's negotiations with TBC and the failure of the
Agreement to close prior to the Termination Date, no assurance can be given that
the transactions contemplated by the Agreement will be consummated.
Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons have no plans or
proposals which relate to Items 4(a) through (j) of Schedule 13D.
