    Hello everyone, do you have any place to recommend in the Lauderdale / North Miami area, where they are able to balance tires and wheels successfully?
    Thank you,
    Alfredo

    Alfredo - Try OK Tire in Pompano - 3381 N. Dixie Highway (near Sample Rd.)

    Talk to Jeff there - he's the best, and can handle custom and oversize wheels no problem.

    Their phone number is 954-781-8220

    Alfredo, We used to have a great place on Cleary until John sold the place to Firestone. I started using the Goodyear (595 and University) near the Kinkos. When John sold the shop this is where many of his guys moved to.

    Thank you guys: I never had so much trouble in my life to get a good high speed balance done.
    Costco on University and 595 does a good job, but only if you buy the tires from them and since I bought them from the Tire Rack...
    Also Formula 1 in Naples does an excellent job, but they are not exactly around the corner.

    Also far away but excellent- Ernie Bello at Bello Motorsport Tires on Old Okccchobee Rd. in WPB- (561) 686-1941- he's mounted/balanced numerous sets of tires on my old Challenge car, and does nice work.

    Thanks Bill, I went yesterday, as they are real close to where I live and as it turns out it looks like I have 1 or may be 2 bad tires that need to go back to the Tire Rack for exchange, as they are not perfectly round and cannot be brought to a satisfactory balance.
    I had gone to other places before, but as much as they tried hard, they could not give me a clue of why they could not balance the tires.

    I've always used O.K. Tires in Pompano Beach for my Z06's and other cars. They're great and honest too. However, I haven't used them for my F430 since I haven't had the need yet. I trust them completely. Speak to Jeff. I agree with RoadRacer.
