What happened was I went to the Firestone across the street to inquire about a set of 275/35/18 tires. They told me they had the same nexen tires as the place I was at. I asked how much they would be, and they said 800 installed with an alignment. So I went back across the street and told the place I was at that Firestone said they would do it for 730 with an alignment and they said they would throw the alignment in. Worked perfectly.

they prob wont do the alignment/balance your wheels correctly(I had a shop try to put my wheels on with out weights. I was like "wait a minute bro, you didnt even balance those. He tried to bullshit. I made him take them off and balance them).

when I drive off, if I notice any vibration or pull either way, I am turning around and going right back.....

I ran 2.0 60fts on Kumho 711's, so that isn't a great way to judge a street tire. Not to mention dragracing on 18's?

the nexens aren't bad tires had them on my trans am. They were 18's, and i never had a problem getting traction. They didn't last too long tho.. Probably like 12,000 miles. I got all 4 18" brand new mounted and balanced for $450. It was worth it. Maybe not $750 or whatever you said
