Ok, good to know. I appreciate the info. Lucky me, there is a Firestone shop 2 miles from my house.
"Corvette" place was a poor choice of words. I was thinking of one of the more specializex shops that would handle lower vehicles. I know some of the shops do not. Many thanks!!

My local Firestone shop refused my request for a precision custom alignment. I offered to pay additional cost for the time but the shop still refused. They did offer a "lifetime alignment" for additional costs, whatever that meant.
I called about a half dozen shops before I found one that would align to PFADT specs but I still had to make an appointment. BTW, the PFADT are a precision specifications but still within the sloppy factory specs. I decided to do this after one of my front tires was down to the cord on the inside despite being within factory alignment specs.
I have only run ZP Michelin all season performance tires.
