Default Re: Tire truing/shaving at John Worden's shop

I've heard that many shops, including Discount Tire, still do tire shaving. On modern AWD cars, if you blow a tire, you can't just replace it with new, if the others are worn. It burns up the differentials if there's a significant difference. So they shave the new tire down to match the others.
