I am looking at the Michelin Pilot Super Sports stock size 215/45-17, and I can't really beat the shop prices. TireRack has them with tax and shipping at $700. Amazon free shipping and no taxes is $660, TiresPlus is $660 before tax, and the place at ford is the same. Raffield TireMaster I have no clue, they didn't itemize the quote which totaled $100 higher than the other two. I'll probably go with Amazon due to no taxes. That's what is pushing TireRack so high.

We don't really have (that I know of) any performance oriented suspension shops local, but I don't doubt your experience, I haven't had much good experience with dealerships. I tried this one because it comes up with it's own name, but when I got there they were wearing the dealership outfits from beside them.
Either way, I had it done, and am not sure if I should feel relieved or not. The sheet I got back shows everything in tolerance. that wheel was -1.7 Camber and -0.24 Toe (max tolerance of -0.04 to +0.21) Now +0.1 Toe. But the left rear was +0.27 and the left front was -0.22. I'm starting to understand why Andrew from Racecomp Engineering is not a fan of the factory Toe Arm. So two other tires are out as bad or worse than the one I am worried about, but don't have the same tire wear. Can my driving style just be excessively hard on one tire?
