can anyone recommend a good shop where I can purchase a set of Michelin tires for my vette, in or near Elizabeth NJ.

I have researched on tirerack, but am looking for a recommendation from fellow forum members.

thanks

Got mine at tirerack and had them dropped shipped to a local preferred installer. You can review the installer ratings on the web site.

Just bought some new tires from Tire Rack and had them shipped to Thrust Performance in South Amboy. Ask for Mike B. 732-952-2238. They know their stuff, Mike owns and races a C5.

Buy them from Tire Rack and have them shipped to your preferred installer. Not meant as a slam Discount Tire may be slightly less expensive but read the fine print, Tire Rack has a better warranty/replacement policy.

I don't have a dog in the fight but let me say this about Discount Tire Direct. I ordered my last set of Michelin PS's from them. The installer was unable to balance the two rear tires. I called DTD, told them about the problem and they shipped me two new ones along with prepaid postage to get the first set back to them. I doubt you'll find a better replacement policy than that.

This is not true.

The Discount tire warrenty replaces a tire 100% no matter the milage ( not pro-rated)....plus the warrenty is transferable to the new vehicle owner when you sell the car.

They have the best warrenty in the business.
