Alignment Questions

Diesel_Mike · 06-08-2017, 04:33 PM

Just got some new Michelin Pilot Sport AS3. Car has the staggered setup and so far the tires are great. Upgraded from the Potenza re050a and the difference is night as day. Way more grip, less road noise, etc, etc. I guess one day I might miss the run flats but so far it's been great.

Anyway so the Potenza's had some really uneven wear in the back and that concerns me a bit. So on to my questions.

Is there a great place (aside from the BMW Dealership) to get stock or better than stock suspension and alignment setup info specifically for the 335d w/ sport package?

Second question is a bit more specific but here goes: Does anybody have a shop in the Pacific Northwest that they recommend for alignment?

I have always used Firestone for alignment since they do lifetime alignments for like 230ish iirc. I tell them I want them are straight as possible (the camber) they can only do within the spec of BMW, but my wear is almost perfectly even. I'd show pictures but I just got new tires. hopes it was of some help.
