Default Hi Everyone- Need a Tire Shop & Alignment North Jersey

Hi,

Well I finally got rid of my run flats by buying new Sumitomo's from the Tire Rack. I am looking now for a tire shop that can remove the EMT's from my rims without breaking their tire changer machines!!

I live in Mahwah and have a business in Belleville so anywhere in North/central Jersey would be fine-- also need an alignment?

Anyone want to put their two cents in?

Euro Tire on Rt 46 Faifield. They have a Hunter machine which will not damage your rims. They've done contless sets for me over the years without a ding.

Call and ask for Bill, he's the owner.

I havn't used them but I did see a Ferrari pull in there a week or so ago. I might give them a try myself. I use ETD on 46 in Denville for tires but they can't/wont do alignments on the Vette. Too low I guess.

Stay away. I had an alignment done there a few years ago. When i pulled in with my 86 thay had to call the local chevy dealership for specs. I ended up getting a "toe-n-go" from riverside from a mechanic who must have floated here from some other country. When i asked about the camber and caster adjustments, he didnt even know how to open the hood. After i opened the hood, he just stared at my control arms and said they were good.
That was about 2 years ago, dont know if anything changed at the shop.

They did the aliment on my c5 no problems and mounted 8 tires for me and 6 for my friend, no issues. They have a very high rating and good feed back on tirerack as well.
