On Vehicle Tire Balance
 
Steering wheel vibration is leading to a balancing of the tires on the vehicle, does anyone know of a place in the NW that does that and can shave or true the tires if necessary ? Have you had any experience good or bad with this process...Thanks in advance for any help..

T and T tire on 38th and South Tacoma Way in Tacoma does it and it works great. They did my SPF a few years back, it made a big difference.

My sister bought some, let's say "inexpensive" tires one time for her car and the first thing they suggested was to shave the tires. She had it done and her "inexpensive" tires lasted longer than the 2X more expensive tires that were on it before. The car also drove better than ever.

T & T also has an alignment guy (Frank) that's great with Cobras. He's doing mine Monday morning.

Hope that works out well. My BFG's were pretty square from the factory.

What a beautiful Cobra, how do you like your 351 ??? Those " small blocks" can really make a great sound at 3500+....

Thanks. I really like small blocks. This one dyno's at over 400 HP & TQ. More than enough for a 2300 lb. car.
Where in Wa. are you?

At/ near the Mission Ridge Ski Area...about 10 miles south of Wenatchee...there are really neat motorcycle/cobra roads around here, but right now the main access road is under construction so the SP is in the garage...
