I just called the local honda dealer and another local motorcycle shop around here. To put to tires on rims I have they want 31.50 per rim(honda dealer) and 65 bucks flat charge for the motorcycle shop. Can you say rip off?

that and im pretty much screwed because I kind of have to go to one of them because there is no where else closeby.

 

that's not so bad. it really depends on the area you go to cause otherwise they can't compete with online tire sales. it used to be only like $10 around here but now it's $25 everywhere per tire and only free if you get the tires from the shop.

 

still thats only 50 bucks versus 62-65.
I just called a kawasaki dealer, they want 15-20 bucks per rim. I think im going to go there.

 

Ya that seems kind of steep, local dealership mounted and balanced mine for $20 per

 

$40 per tire on a carry in around here....and you take your old skins with you.

I took up doing my own and those for friends a few years ago....its paid back quickly.

 

I took my old tires with me, I can toss them in the dumpster at work, they wont care. they wanted 4 bucks a tire to dispose.

 

around here most shops wont even install tires unless you bought it from them ! they say some bs about liability but whatever. but there is a tire shop that also does bike tires i just had to take the rims/tires off of my bike and take them down (no biggies) but that is even costing me 31.50 ech

 

they better give you a sweet deal on the wrapper then, i just got my rear pilot power mounted and out the door....200 flat.

 

mount and balance our own tires for that reason.

 

I pay 12-15 bucks a day for lunch, I can't see complaining about that amount extrafor something I do for my bike every few thousand miles.
