Big 10 Tire Life time alignment?

Just wanted to see what you suggest, should i get it done there and do it often or go to a better place and do it once in a while?


what specs should i tell them to set, for best tread wear and for a DD.


Anyone know a good place in GA?

THanks

It depends on the techs that work there . My car was done at Town Fair Tire , a regional company . One of the techs owns an evo and another a sti . They know what they're doing and care about the customer . I had them set the car to factory specs as a DD . It's always good to check the employee parking to see what cars the techs are driving . I went to another company , all the employee cars were riced out hondas and cavaliers . It didn't really give me a warm fuzzy seeing that . Good luck !

Hey man! Where in GA do you live? In the Cobb county there is a Goodyear off of Barrett pkwy near the mall that does great alignments and they warranty them for a year (which helped me out when my spring got installed upside down and had to redo em ). Their master alignment tech used to do race alignments. Let me know where your at though and i can recommend a good shop!

I normally got to discount as they are careful with my wheels but then I know someone that works at our local store as well (STI owner).

The one up in Woodstock does good alignments. It really is up to the tech. If Big 10 around you has a good reputation id say its good.
