Pit Man!
John Paul was my pit man at DeSantie Tires located right over the North Avenue line from Bridgeport at 8 Tunxis Hill Rd in Fairfield. I had the tires rotated, I should have done it earlier as there is noticeable wear difference between front and back tires.

They also have used tires as well. Give them a try!
