    Love my 2cts.... but leaning towards a pair of 016's for the next set due to the slightly lower price point.

    If you want to take it to a local shop, Rocky Mountain Kawasaki has the lowest (I think) mounting prices around. I have 2cts, and they have held up extremely well (I have about 8k miles on the front, previous rear lasted about 5k). A friend of mine had bt016s, and they needed replaced after 3 thousand miles.

    Re: Least expensive way to buy and get a tire mounted

    Every tire I've purchased for my bike has come from Epic Motosports. Nobody has ever been able to beat their mounted prices for the tire I have (Metzeler M3). Short drive for me, no wait, good price = return business. My most recent change was about 2 weeks ago and it was $170. Many places wanted at least $200 mounted... The most expensive I found was getting the tire from Performance Cycle, then having it mounted at Woody's Wheel Works (who wanted 60 fucking dollars to mount the tire with the wheel on the bike... ridiculous). Total would have been $243

    I'm just thinking that the difference will be made up with the gas it'll take me to get down there.
