    Or in Southern VA or Piedmont of SC. I am going to find someone to make my darn wide whites round. The last resource in Greensboro, Hall Tire, quit a few months ago as their guy retired.
    Thanks

    Not the closest to you, but worth a phone call: Barry's Tire and Exhaust, Forrest City, NC 828/245-1997 <barrystire@hotmail.com>. I haven't had any personal dealings with them, however.

    I have enjoyed your build, you have built a beautiful car, and I hope you get it handling so you can enjoy it to the fullest.

    I had the same problem, square tires I balanced them 100 times finely fixed the problem, sold them to some kid and bought a set of diamond backs know smooth as glass. I think shaving the tires is just a band aid to the problem

    Without knowing the rest of the story, I should probably shut the hell up…but…..that sounds F’ed up.
    What a way to get a kid into our hobby. I’m betting that you mentioned the problem and asked a pittance in exchange or better yet gave them to him. :)

    Might contact Towel City tires in Kannapolis. They build tires, and have the equipment to shave, or cut grooves, and might be able to do this for you.
