Default Buying tires online.

I got a nail in my tire after only 1250 miles. I'm pretty bummed. Is there anywhere you guys reccomend to buy my tires online? Which tires chould I get. I'm trying to stick with Michelin. Seems like their road tires not too bad. I use my bike every day for work to home commute. I currently have Michelin Power tires.

The PP are the greatest, they warm up fast and they stick really good.

I just got the Michelin Pilot Power 2CT's from www.derbycycles.com

They were 265 shipped, 180/120 combo, about the best price I found....Incredible tire by the way, only 100 miles on them so far, but loving every second of it!!

I got a nail in my tire last year and just plugged it with a patch kit like a car tire and its been fine ever since.

For warning..... before you buy a tire online, go to your repair shop see what they charge and if there'sa service charge for a tire that you don't buy from them.

When I bought my PP, I bought it from Honda because they would have charged me a service fee ($55 for buying a tire not from that repair shop). If you add that fee and the price of the tire that I would have bought online; it would have equaled to the price of the tire I would buy from the stealership...
