Discount Tire / America's Tire in CA, has service points all over the US (well not all states) but I just go in and give them my phone # and they call up my list of Alfas and rotate, repair, balance my tires as part of the original price. I go with Michelins they are reliable. I try to pick a balance of handling and resistance to hydroplaning. My Alfas are daily drivers; and not subject to snow too often.
