Default Baby needs new shoes...

My TT is shod with Michelin PS2's and is in desperate need of new rears. Unfortunately, Michelin appears to have forgotten that our cars use 295/30-18's as PS2's have been on back order all year and the only tire they make in that size is the Sport Cup.

Not wishing to tempt fate I'll be installing a matched set of *something*.

Any recommendations for an installer in the Pleasanton/Dublin/Livermore area? Preferably one that will take TireRack drop ships and has a Hunter Road Force balancer.

TIA, and a Happy New Year to everybody

Need new shoes in the front and thinking of these. You can use the Tirerack website to find a local installer.
