so i finally got around to getting my taxes done. and im getting some money back and i desperately need a new rear tire. so i want to just go ahead and replace both tires.
so i was wondering if anyone knew of any places with really good prices for tires and howmuch i should expect a shop to charge me for putting these tires on.

i was also thinking about doing a 520 conversion but i wanted to know about any ups or downs do the conversion
any input is appreciated

 

most tire prices are gonna be within the same range, unless you just stumble off a killer deal
if you order **** online its cheaper, obviously, and most the time u can get away without paying shipping motorcycle-superstore.com, kneedraggers.com have good prices, but the thing is, alot of places will charge you more if you didnt buy the tire from them, or some places wont even touch it i think my battalax installed was like 210?

 

Damn. I just take my rim off, give the dealer my new tire, the rim and its less then twenty five to install the tire.

 

Check out the pricing of tires at indysuperbikes.com They are local for me and always treat me well.
I also use Dunlops as I've had good experience with them. Mounting varies depending on several items (rim on/off the bike, where you go dealership/independant shop etc).

 

Just picked up a set of Michelin Pilot Power 2CT's from Honda Of Jacksonville for $259.00. That is installed if you are local. I shopped around and as far as I have found it is a prtty good deal for front and rear.

Hope it helps.

 

I just put on a set of Metzeler M-1's a few weeks ago. I like 'em. Got 'em when Cycle Gear had 'em on sale. I took the wheels off myself and got the tires put on for $20 each. Look around on the internet, you'll eventually find a good deal.

 

I had to talk my dealer into matching price on an online deal.
