Default Tire Deals?

Where do you usually find the best deals on tires? I'm looking to purchase some in the next few weeks.

Thanks!

I usually use www.sportbikertrackgear.com they sell Michelin tires, usually pretty cheap. The thing you have to check is mounting them, most stealerships will charge you more to mount a tire you didn't buy there, so make sure you factor mounting in the total price.

I know a couple of places I can get them mounted at a decent price. The set that's on there now, some friends and I did by hand. Umm...I'm not doing that again.

Tires are kinda expensive around here.

I can get a set of regular Pilot Powers for $195, plus tax right now. I would charge you a handling fee for me to run out and get them for you. And then shipping. You're better off finding something locally by that point.

I also got my tires from swmototires.com. I'm running Pilot Road on the rear, Pilot Power on the front.

I'm running Pilot Sport front (yes, old) and Road 2 rear and i HEART the Road2!! dunno if I'll put it on the front when I replace it, I will likely go to a Power, to stay sport-oriented for the front. That combo has worked really well for me

Oh, and my front is 120/60 stock
