My C2's tires will need replacing sometime this year. I've got a work trip planned for Seattle in about a month and it's a perfect opportunity to take the car and explore some of the Washington State twisties en route from Vancouver BC, and slap on some new shoes at the same time. Tires in the US are a fraction of the cost here in Canada.
Anyone have a favorite shop to get some new rubber dialed?
Thanks guys.

I used http://www.group2inc.com in Seattle, no affiliation.... they are a "Tire Rack" installer, just order your tires from TR and they ship them to Group 2. Good service and I had an alignment at the same time.
PS. Continental "Extreme Contact DW" was my choice, very nice tire, good grip and dead quiet.![thumbsup](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/bigok.gif)

I had Firestone do my mounting and balancing .
They have shops all over so if I needed something redone ...
I see that they have shops in Canada .
"Lifetime Wheel Balance (3)
(3) Lifetime balance is only warrantied so long as originally balanced tire remains on wheel. If needed, additional charge may apply for resetting the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)."
........................................................................ ...............
"Lifetime Wheel Alignment (available on most vehicles)
In addition to our standard alignment service, we:
Provide a lifetime limited warranty* on the wheel alignment, which means we’ll set alignment angles on your vehicle every 6,000 miles or whenever needed, free of charge, for as long as you own it.
* See your auto advisor for complete terms and conditions of written, limited warranties."
Look for a shop that has a Hunter Road Force 9700 balancer .

Seems like a large number of PCA/911 owners use Discount Tire in Bellevue.
If you want to add an alignment, then order the tires through Tire Rack & have them mounted & the alignment done at Tru-Line (locations in Seattle & Bellevue).
