I get mine from RideNow. They are usually the cheapest (since shipping is included). But if you go get like a SportRider Magizine or Motorcyclist or something, you can look at the adds in there adn some with offer free shipping with purchases over $200 or something, and then will give you deals on top of that. I think retail for those are $139.99 for the front and $179.99 for the rear (but not sure). SoThe ridenow price isnt that bad. Who charges $100 for mounting. My place here charges $25 is you bring the bike and $18 if you just bring the rims in. I would check around for that too. You can check your local Walmart or Big 10 place because some of those places can do them as well for a lot cheaper than dealerships. Just look around. But The ridenow price sounds pretty good especially shipped. Check to see if you dealership can match the price and then they may deduct a little for shipping as well. Good luck man!

 

print out the best deal you can find then take it to your local shop. just say here is what i am payin, ask them to match it. they could possibly do it then you dont have to pay for shipping and you can get them right then and there. my place also does the mounting for free if you buy through them.

 

ummm yeah most online site buy in bulk and get a better price brake on tires. Most of the time they sell the tires below your dealers cost. More than likely your dealer is just going to laugh at your for asking for that price and then expecting free mounting, you asking for an *** kicking. Here's the best place online i've found

$100 bucks to mount and balance seems REALLY high. What state are in?
