The phrase "Tires
don exits", usually a deliberate misspelling of "tiers
don't exist", is an inside joke among the Smash community. One
day, a disgruntled member of Smash World Forums posted a message in the Melee discussion rooms stating why he thought tier lists were invalid. The topic was "Tires
don exits" (sic). It has since become a community joke and can be seen on the various tier-list posts at
SWF. SWF administrator Scav later used this as his custom title, further popularizing the saying.
