Default good alignment shops in denver

like the title says, im looking for a good alignment shop in the denver metro area. I let a buddy thats a toyota tech align my car and its chewing threw tires even tho he says he put it right in the specs lol. so, does any one know of a good place to go and about how much does it cost? i dont really wanna take it to like firestone or brakes plus cuz some of my friends work there and they're dumb asses when it comes to cars lol. also looking for some 245/45/18 tires if anyone knows of someone locally selling some
thanks,

eric

It is probably your toe settings that are killing the tires. You can run a ton of camber and not destroy tires if toe is at 0 but once you get that toe in you start to scrub during normal driving and that is what eats the insides of the tire.
I put my 240sx at:
-2.5 camber front, -2.0 camber rear
0 toe front, -.1 toe rear.
6.5 caster


The caster may not apply to the Z but the other settings would be pretty applicable, note I run higher camber than the factory reccomends due to tire changes.
