Hi folks,
Drove back and forth to Florida in January, seems I now have an little off center steering wheel and small shimmy at 80mph. Original tires on 06 LMB coupe. 26000 miles.
Any advice on where to buy tires and get alignment, center wheel etc. would be very helpful. I am just south of Worcester, Ma. and am unsure if I should go to dealer or good local shop.
Thanks

Good Morning,
Small world, I 'm in Douglas, near Whittier Farms. The snow yesterday was light, but still a reminder we are in New England. Standing by for Spring and death to the frost heaves. Florida driving was nice on smooth roads.

ha! no kidding. I'm near downtown, on Gilboa st. Quite a few Vettes in Douglas. My brother has a '68 up the street. There's another C3 (70 something) down the street.
Did you find an alignment shop yet? I was looking at the recommended tire mounting shops on Tire Rack and it looks like there are some recommended places in the Worcester area you might want to look into.

Hi
I am thinking about firestone in Auburn, kind of like the wide oval. I will stop and talk to shop manager I guess, depends on the welcome I get. The wheels have no marks as of yet. I want someone careful, but things happen. If they sound like they get the corvette thing, I will go for an alignment first, for spring, then tires later ,with second alignment.
I have experience with C&R tire and will run it by them also.
I was hoping for someone with glowing comments about THE front end/Corvette guy.
Wave if you get the chance, see you around town. Thanks
