    I had to have two tires changed due to punctures.
    I found 2 used one but they have a tread difference and I would need to have them shaved down a bit.
    Does anyone knows of a shop who could do that in the cobb area?

    How about butler tires?
    Gran turismo is a bit far but if I have to I will go there

    I second Gran Turismo East.
    You're doing the smart thing and trying to make all corners the same diameter. Spend some more time and make the drive. If I were in your shoes that is where I would go.

    i would assume any reputable tire shop could do it in a pinch, but all GTE does is custom performance suspension/wheel/tire stuff for aftermarket vehicles. it just makes sense

    GTE has done a set for me...I'd make the trip just because they know their stuff.

    Butler Tire is probably the most expensive, don't go there

    I recommend GT east also!

    I guess GTE it is! I sent them an e-mail to see if they still offer this and at what price.
    Thank you for your help!

    I'm surprised there wasn't a poll started for this

    GTE and no one else as far as I know will shave used tires. They will only do new ones.

    apparently all the stuff stuck in used ones do damage to the machine. better call and check first.
     
  14. I think weaver brake and tire in marietta still shaves tires.

    I called Kieran this morning and said they can do it on used tires but they would have preferred them not mounted.
    Anyway, I'll probably do the trip next week.
    Thank you to everyone for your help!
     
  18. Weaver has been shaving tires since right after radial tires became popular..

    weaver is the class-A truck place, right? If so, i've used them before.
     
  20. Weaver has 2 shops right across the street from each other.They do just about anything with tires..

    So, I went to GTE yesterday and received great service and great advices!
    And best of all, they didn't needed to shave my tires.
    Worth the trip up there!
    Now I need a driver front door but I'll start a new thread....
