ok i live in northern va area and i justttt picked my car up from sterling mini for some work done under warrentee anywhooo they said my tires are at 5mm and would need to be replaced at 2 LIKELY but im attributing this to the camber because i had my car lowered on m7 springs so what im asking is ive had these new rims and tires since last october. so is that really worn for tires a year old and also what shops realign which is what im assuming i need to have done and how much am i probably looking at spending

 

I just got an alignment on my MINI (following new tire/wheel install) for $168 at the Mr. Tire in Bailey's Crossroads (it used to be Craven Tire and the same staff/crew work there).

They did a great job, gave me a print out of before and after settings.

I also had them do a balance of all 4 wheels even though they were brand new from Edge Racing (and supposedly ready to go). All 4 tires were out of balance which led to some shaking/vibration when speeds were in the range of 55 - 70.

Address is 5610 Columbia Pike, Falls Church, VA 222041, (703) 820-2300.

Nice waiting area, but no wireless Internet access. Had to walk about 10-15 minutes to the nearby Starbucks. Work was done in less than 2 hours and I had called that morning for an appointment.

 

ok so that sounds awesome because i have such little time to work with before a road trip coming up im assuming ill call last minute lol but thank you SO MUCH for the info i think im gonna go this route rather than doing it myself lol

 

I just got my alignment done at Mach V after rear sway bar install. Cost me $95 and they did a great job.

Oh, but they did not have to readjust the fronts since they were okay. Only the backs.
