RE: help with tires...
Dudes -- a great investment in time and tools is to learn to change and balance your own tires. It's not that difficult and you'll save thousands in the long run. Takes me about an hour to change, balance and re-mount a set. You'll also be receiving much beer from when you change your buddies' tires

RE: help with tires...
+1 for changing and balancing your own tires!!! Yamaha Tire Mount Lube is your friend. I can mount a set of Pilot Powers with out using tools.
I do not trust the Dealer to do the Job right. I sold my BlackBird to a guy that had his tires changed by the dealer, and the dealer forgot to tighten the rear AXLE Nut.
Bad News.

Thanks
I ended up buying the bridgestone stock for now. (a lot of money for a new set.)
just when I thought I finally had the money for a PCIII (that I desperately need) this crap happens.
for now I got the tire and balanced etc... for $200
Next on the list Is a PCIII and than looks like pilot powers have a really good review from everybody. so I will invest onthem as well..
....BIkes... what a money pit... nothing is ever good enough we always want more.
(bigger n better)
By the blade17 where can u get super corsas for $350 that looks like a good deal!!!

1 fresh set of Super Corsa Pro SC2 120 Front and 190 Rear = SGP$550 = SGP$550 \ 1.6 = US$343.75
SGP$550 is the most expensive price quoted here..Got mine for SGP$480 = US$300
Recently the dealer offered me an even better deal..SGP$450 for a new set and dats US$281.25 bro!!
Wonder if I can export these tires over to the states..Can make a tidy sum!! LOL..
Before I forget..Michelin Pilot Power Race 120 F 190 R going for SGP$350 = US$218!!!!! I likeeee....

I payed $295 just for a rear pilot power and then I payed $550 for a set of super corsa pros. On special at the time. I thought that was cheap but what you get is a bargain.. (maybe you should send me a couple)

RE: help with tires...
Ok.. If anyone here is serious bout buying Super Corsa Pro tires or Michelin Pilot Power Race tires..I can ask the dealer for the current price now and the Postal Office if its possible to ship tires overseas..Sounds weird..haha!!
Trust is also another issue when it comes to money..Well if anyone is interested then I can go around asking!!

RE: help with tires...
it is a very sweet deal...indeed!!!
but they rape you on the shipping when it's over seas.
America is a country of consumption, therefore they can get away with whatever price they want you to buy it for.
by the way
thanks blade17fire appreciate for telling me the price is in singapore if it was in the states
I would of have to do some serious thinking.
