Default My dad just bought a tire shop!!!

Called my dad the other day and he informed me that he just bought a tire shop! I was kinda in shock since I had no idea he was even looking into buying a business. I went to check it out and it has a freaking computer alignment machine and everything. He can order Bridgestones too! Can we say S0-3's for like $40 each!! They can replace my wheel studs and other stuff now and I can get it all done for free. What I wanted to know is what kinda stuff can I fool around with on the alignment machine? Could I mess with my camber and toe in before and autocross event?

By the way if any of you need tires in Southwest Alabama let me know. Its located only 1hr 20min from mobile.

I guess you're now the official R forum wholesale tire guy. Sell the tires to us wholesale and add a few $'s on top for yourself

You NEED to convince your father to stock up on R tires

He should also become a Kumho, Dunlop, Falken, Yokohama and Hoosier dealer

Do a lot of other people want F. Azenis, we could all probably get those for DIRT cheap if he is willing.
