Tires and mounting

[HDave]

So its time for some new tires.

I like the Dunlop 208's I have been on this summer quite a bit. Perfromance has them for $105 & $85 (R&F). Is that a good deal or can I do better on the net?

Can any one recommend a shop for mount and balance? Last time I payed excel about $65 to mount a pair (I think)

Thanks!

do em yourself if you got a compressor and spoons. they are pretty easy and saves ya all that $$$ for gas money.

That's about as cheap as you will find 'em Shipping is like $20.
TK Motorsports will do 'em fer about $30 off the bike.

Sounds good.
You getting out this weekend?

Thanks bro!

tfog does em for 20 each on the bike, and 10 each off.

My bad, the deal from performance is a web only deal :x I'll need to call them tomorrow and verify this, but that waht the website said.

I found the set for 195 plus 20 to ship at Chaparral. Are they a good online store?

Betcha! Sunday as usual, maybe I can get a pass for part of Monday. Don't know which ride yet, been mixing em up lately.

I just got a set of M1's for $85/$110 from Performance.

here are the two best proces I found on the web

http://www.chaparral-racing.com/Chaparral/assets/html/homepage.asp?URLCheck=1

and

http://www.performancecycle.com

I'm calling perfromance to see if they will honor the web pricing. Would seem silly if they wont. I'll let you know what I find out.

TFOG's prices are just a couple of bucks higher than Performance, and they're mounting is cheap (if you buy the tires at TFOG). If you bring your own tires, mounting will cost a bit more (dont' remember exactly how much, but it's a quick phone call to find out). 8)

Performance said WEB ONLY for the Dunlops. :?

Whatever, with shipping I think that makes Chapparal cheaper.

That looks to be the direction I will go very soon.

FWIW I got my last set of D208s at Mark's Motorcycle on Hampden - $245 F&R mounted/balanced, off-bike, while I waited. He was a couple bucks more than performance on the tires, but mounting was discounted since I bought the tires from him.

Meh.. I got my new 208s today (figured it was the best for how little time i spend in the canyons) for $214 at excel (thats tires pulled off the bike and replaced) all while I waited! It pays to know people!

Excel has both front and rear for $200, 35 each for mount and balance (on bike). Good as anyone else and one stop shopping.
