Helmutt Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I shop the internet too, typically the locals are higher $$$But I usually find that F/R package deals get you a great priceI rarely swap out tires one at a time, unless I'm extra hard on the throttle and carry the front half the time :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelin pilot powers are a pretty good tire, (although not current generation) and prices are very reasonable about anywhere. Spring is the best time to buy tires as most retailers want to move stock and offer good discounts. I mostly use DennisKirk,(instant shipping) but have heard good things about JakeWilson.

I know it makes sense, but it sucks because my options are pretty limited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Wow, didnt think the 207s were even available anymore - weren't those diso'd back in '05/'06? I'd get the Dunlop Roadsmart rear tire, I just put a set on my bike this past fall and being a dual-compound the center holds up better for higher hp bikes and the pattern is similar too if that matters to ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have bought from them in the past, good prices and good service. In this case, though, their prices are no better than the ones already listed.
