Bringing her in next week for the first service.. Outside of the normal "stuff" they do, any recommendations on "extras" to suggest?? I do have a slight shimmy in the wheel, so I am going to suggest that they balance all four wheels again, or at least check it out.. Other than that??

Thanks in advance...

I believe that tires take a "set" for the corner they are installed on.
Moving them around may make them last a small bit longer, but it usually results in various wheel vibrations and a less smooth feel in my opinion.
I just rotate front to rear, one time during the tires life and never have any wear issues.
I'm sure some will not agree, but I have been doing this for a long time with very good results.

All seasons will last longet then the stock Contis which lasted 11K.

I rotate the tires myself in the driveway with 2 hydraulic jacks. 45 min job at most.
