[TR] tired of tire stores

[Chip19474 at aol.com]

Jim,
 
Many years ago I learned that independent garages (as opposed to Tire  
Chains) offer the best solutions to tire/wheel problems with our cars and, if  you 
can find one that is especially sensitive to "old" cars, you've really got a  
gem.
 
I've got a guy who is only 12 miles away who specializes in wheel  
alignment/frame repair/balancing who is the third generation owner and who  remembers 
his dad working on Brit cars and (here's the bottom line) completely  
understands old Brit car suspensions, wire wheels, trunnions, trailing arms,  IRS, etc.  
I'm also blessed with having an independent tire store only a  mile from home 
whose owner also understands old Brit cars, is a conscientious  guy and 
respects the cars when he works on them.
 
Point is......try to find someone like these guys in your neighborhood  
through word-of-mouth, local Triumph Club recommendation, etc. and give them a  
shot.
