Tire Shaving

Does anyone know where you can get tires shaved around Atlanta. I'm about to get a tire replaced, and I'm certain the other tires have had more than 2/32 of wear (Suby's spec for the maximum difference in tire wear) in the last 6000 miles.

Thanks!

 

im pretty sure discount tire would do it

 

hmph.. I'll check. I figured it's have to be someplace selling tires to racers or something.

 

i don't know about discount tire. They refused to flip my victoracers for me, it took two phone calls from brian to get them to do it. Then when i came back they started agruing with me about it again. They claim to have alot of customers that do autox but i don't believe them. worst servie ever! Go to grand turismo.

 

i know tire rack will shave them for you
most places wont shave tires if you've run on them already though, dont know if thats an issue

 

This could be bad if true.

 

im pretty sure it is, they dont want whatever road debris thats made it into your tire screwing up their expensive machine

 

but ur planning on shaving just the new one right?

 

yep... but I'm getting the new one at SoG... maybe I can pick it up there, take it to be shaved, then bring it back and get it mounted.

 

Check with Gran Turismo East.

 

I gran turismo and they're closed today (cant blam them). THen I called discount tire in Lawrenceville, he recommended mounting the tire on another car w/17" (non-awd) rims and burning 2/32 - 3/32 off.

 

That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. I would not deal with Discount Tire if that is how they are. I guess they don't know that you have an STI that has a fairly uncommon offset that won't fit on most cars. Wait till tomorrow and call GT again.

 

Point turned out to be moot. After 6k miles, none of the tires have more than 2/32 wear. I guess it's time to take my skirt off! (no offense ladies)
