I have a set of KDW's with some cupping wear on the fronts, but plenty of meat left. Where can I get them shaved down? Ohio would be ideal as shipping tires / wheels around is a ball breaker.

Any decent tyre shop can do it. Look for a 4x4 shop in your area they should be able to handle it as well.

A shop that does big truck (18 wheeler) tires should be able to fix you up.

It's actually called "truing" the tire, not "shaving". They have a machine with a round razor blade on it that they run across the face of the tire as it spins on the car. After the tire is "trued" they balance it on-car. It's the ONLY way to get our cars running "smooth".
