Thumbs up New Allignment 4 my 19's!

Well guys, I'm very happy to report that after going in for an allignment on my newly installed 19x8 & 19x9's, I was only like 2 points (I think that's the right term or 2/10 ths) off and that was on the right rear only! As many of you know, when I pulled my 18's off and put my factory 17's back on, the 18's had considerable inside wear due to my front allignment being waaaaay off! But I wasn't 100% convinced that all that wear was just due to allignment. So yesterday when they pulled off my 17's (245/45/17 Nitto NT555) the insides looked awesome after about ohh 2 months & 2,200 miles. And with 3 out of 4 wheels being right in the middle of spec including the front two, it's obvious the allignment is holding up well. But as I stated before, no more ************ around for me, I will have my new setup balanced and alligned every 3,000 miles! I would HIGHLY RECCOMMEND you guys investing in a lifetime balancing and allignment deal, it's Well Worth It!

Well we'll probably be on the inside Jacob up at Davenport Motor Co. I don't think none of us wants to be out shakin' in the cold! So it'll be all good!

Hmmmmmmmmmm? I'm not sure Diesel. I would almost gurantee that most if not all would have the HUNTER. I actually have the Lifetime Balancing deal with DISCOUNT, and they definitely do cause I always watch em' use it! I just happen to have gotten the better of the 2 deals at both places!

How much did you pay for the lifetime balance and alignment? Do I need to purchase any tyres from Firestone in order to purchase this deal?

The "lifetime balance" was only like $30 or $40 if I remember correctly. And no, you do not have to purchase anything from Firestone to get the Lifetime Allignment! Just the price of this service, which was at the time I got it here in Dallas, $140. I've already gotten 3 since the purchase back in May! And I'll be right back up in there every oil change!

So Firestone (I have one of those in Bayonne) can do an alignment on 19" wheels!!!!!!!!!??????

Let me know if you have to put your 17" on to do the alignment or if they can do it with the 19"s .....I had a tire blow out because my front tire was so off on alignment that it wore out the inside of the tire comepletely.

Thanks


Joe..

With the 19's!!! The only problem I initially ran into was that I went to 3 different ones! The first 2 could not accomidate my lowered car! :eek: They'll know if they can put it up on the rack once you get there!
