oo i got quoted 195 per tyre

and 70 for wheel alignment...gonna go this afternoon..

[sportiyo]

70 for wheel alignment is a bit much isnt it?

bob janes charge 40

[SuperDave]

I pay $40 i think at Fulcrum. It is only a front wheel alignment. $70 sounds like a 4 wheel alignment, and there ain't much that can be adjusted back there.

sorry to hijack your thread

most places told me the rear cant be adjusted at all, because its solid, or are they just being lazy? thats why i only pay 40 for all my alignments

YA, I did 4 wheel alignment last time too...So, it was not unnecessary?

[dimsim8]

the guy charged me $55 for a 4 wheel alignments at Jax quick fit

and 2 weeks ago i got a quote for 215/45/17 yoko s. drive for $300.... so much cheaper for 205/50/16

[XploShun]

the guy told me...

45 for 2 front

70 for all four... man i shouldve done the 2 front only!

but anyway.. i asked bob jane.. they said 199 per tyre (dont have road side assistance).. 49 for wheel alignment! so.. overall i will only save $5!

thx for the help! man next time.. i'll only do the 2 front wheel alignment

The Bridgestone Adrenalin Re001 is a new tyre its only just come out in the last two months and its made in japan i think well atleast the one's i have fitted were they might be making some sizes in other countrys as they do this a fair bit. Very nice tyre should be quiet because it not a directional tyre this would be my choice or toyo or if you got $$$ michelin Dunlops IMO are **** but i work for Bridgestone so ill allways back them up

[PICCOLO]

O yeah and if your running 17 inch you should be running 215-45-17 that would be the closest rolling diameter to the original size

[Dennis_ZZE122]

i am running Sports Maxx 215/45/17 and only cost me $190 each

Actually depending on the tyre 215/40/17 is closer to stock diameter. I'd rather have my speedo read slightly fast by a few % than read slow and get booked for being only a coupl of k"s over the limit.

BTW Sportivo's and Corolla's only have adjustment wheel alignment wise on the front. Rear is non adjustable.

But I am working on making something to adjust the rear camber/tow.......

Does it need to be tested for handling
