Tomorrow I'm getting my new Goodyear F1s installed with the alignment being performed by Performance Alignment in Cincinnati. Seems like a great place, got to be better than average tire joint. I'm going with stock tire size and Pettit street specs. This should be perfect for my driving. Tire wear shouldn't be much of a problem. I will check back in tomorrow to share the experience.

 

Just got back from Performance Alignment in Cincinnati and man does my car feel different. All I can say is I will never take another car to the everyday tire dealer again. These guys took their time getting the tires on and aligning. Not one mark on the wheels or lug nuts. When I was done they let me take it for a drive and the difference was like night and day. The guys were really cool, very personable and they treated the car like it was theirs. They told me to drive it a few days and if anything was not right to bring her back and they would take care of it.

 

Damn, I wish there was an alignment shop around the Chicago area. I don't want to take my car to the everyday tire dealer.
Can you ask them if they know anyone in the Chicago area?

 

I just ordered a set of those F1's. How do you like them? It was a tossup between those and the Ecsta MX's. And what are the alignment specs? I'm probably going to go a little aggressive in the front because I just ordered camber plates as well.
