Default tires- setting to spec

Aloha - am a 2007 430sc owner. 39K miles. Changed run flats to michelins yesterday. I asked the question if there were different specs for setting the tires. Meaning the run flats are positioned differently to hug the road- but the angles wear the tires on the inside and sometimes on the outside. Since these are regular tires, can they sit a little flatter? Or maybe this question is not relevant. Second, know any good rim repair guys who take out the dings in Honolulu? While i am at it, how about body nicks and dings - got any suggestions for body repairs? Mahalo for your kokua.

You talking about alignment? If your tires are wearing unevenly its usually an alignment issue or your tire pressures are all out of whack. I would check tire pressure and if all are ok check your alignment. Island brake and alignment in Pearl city is where I used to take my car when I was on Oahu.

As for rim repair the only place I know that does that is Alloy wheel repair in Waipahu.

For dings, are you looking for paint less dent repair or an actual body shop?
