This is the bunch that was at ECR for trackside support.
I swiped their flyer of the restroom wall late Sun.
They are just around the corner from me.
I'm considering them for tire purchases.
Before I called them I wanted to query those here that patroned them this past weekend.

How was the shave?
Prices?

thx,
jb

Steve bought a set of 888's but I didn't ask him the price and he doesn't look at this forum either.
They would be convenient for me as well. Is Boudy not selling tires next year?
I did buy some leftover SRF from them-well really I dealt with Bobby Archer which I found interesting.

the fact that Bobby is part of that outfit is enough to turn me off. i do like the idea of having trackside support, so i'm torn. i know this is the guy who did all of the Bobby's shaves that so many folks had issue w/. he also said he will be doing all the shaves for Speed TC/WC. i'm pretty sure Vilvin is doing all that.

Not sure about the Shaving, but I'm pretty sure that Vilven will be the supplier of the tires.

I had 4 shaved, they asked me to come by after the first one to see how it liked it before comtinuing... my car has too many issues to know if it was a good shave or not... they DID aks if I wanted the corners rounded and asked a lot of specifics that I couldn't answer... Rob had some shaved... $115.00 to shave 4 switch out 2 and balance all 4..

[Rob Liebbe]

I had two shaved but declined on the balance. Drove the car straight to them after the next session for a balance. :lol: The shave job looked good to me.

They were courteous, as quick as they could have been, and the pricing was reasonable.

i got R888 shaved on the rims and made true round!
cost was $240.00 each mounted shaved and balance.
i live in San Antonio no tires around here so it work for me.

[stevecmc8]

i check my amex bill $1100.00 for all 4 tires
they where $275.00 s/b/m
:idea:
