Balance, ideally, just when I buy them and mount...that last set took a LOT of retries to get them right though. Friends at Acura got this set right right away.
Alignment, I have a 3 year at tire kingdom with 1 year left on it...but I don't trust that their machine or the techs know what the fk they are doing. This last set ate up the inside after like 4 different alignments over the course of a year and 12K miles.
I know, I hope I'm wrong, i love this tire.

^^^ WOW....you got a decent firestone around you bro ? with an asian guy working in the bay (no am not being racist, they know what they are doing, its like in their DNA)....
but yeah find a nice Firestone with an underground alignment rack (so lowered cars can just roll on)....those guys know what they are doing....
$20 gets you lifetime balance and rotation (life of the tire, but they never realize when you get a new tire LOL)
$150 gets you lifetime alignment (lifetime of the car)
get those and get it done every 5K miles....come back on here and tell me how much you love me and see your Conti's lasting for 40K+ miles

Thanks Anil...if the firestone in Miami has an inground rack, I'll try that out.
As it stands, I'll probably throw fifty bucks at it at Acura and have piece of mind for now. MOST places down here DON'T have an inground and I can't make it up traditional ones.

PS: there is a $30 off lifetime alignment coupon somewhere in my apartment....lemme try to find it and post it up
