High Speed Tire Balance is one of the truest forms of wheel/tire balancing. Big John's is one of the few shops in the United States that offers this type of balance. A high speed tire balance offers the smoothest possible ride. It is done with the tire on the car & reaches speeds of 100mph. Rims from stock/OEM to custom can be balanced. We can do most makes, models & years. We have great competitive prices on new & used tires. We carry Cooper Tires, Michelin, GoodYear, Starfire, Hankook, Bridgestone, Firestone, Pirelli, BFGoodrich & many more. Make sure to like us on Facebook!
