My Corvette is in NorCal which I'll be there to drive for a bit before I ship it to Hawaii.

Check with Abel Chevy they can get MSS.
And they can mount balance and align for your driving style.
They just aligned mine after they did my coil overs.

On stop shop. .

I bought tires for my C6 at Abel. I had it there for service anyway. It made things very convenient for me.

The nice thing about able is the do more than just service.
They build straight up race cars. They have designed and built many styles and types of builds
.
And if you get alignments done there you can spec it to your liking if you road race or auto x or just like to attack the twisties on your way to the store for milk. Lol

And the nice thing is the surrounding area is close if you wanna grab some lunch while service is being done. Or bring a fishing pole and fish the delta lol.

I know Abel has a cult following on this forum. And we do use Abel for our service needs - and love them. But, I did take my ZL1 there to get tires replaced, and my black wheels had the )@(# scratched out of them.

I now buy tires from tirerack, and have them shipped to a local recommended installer (I use my local Firestone, which has never scratched one of my wheels).

Default David from America's Tire??

I used to get my tires from David, the manager at America's Tire on Brocaw Rd. then he moved to the Mountain View store. He used to give Corvette Club owners a nice discount but the last couple of times I was there, he was not to be found. Does anyone know if had or has health problems?
