Best place to buy tires?

[Shuey]

So . . . went searching for some Michelin PR4 GT tires today and nobody has them. After many phone calls I thought some might be interested in a snapshot of today's prices from various sources. I can't say the price differences apply to all tire choices, but . . . maybe, worth comparing.

If anyone has other sources to suggest . . . chime in please.

(Note: I rounded prices up to the next whole dollar, adding a penny in most cases!)

PS: PR4s are backordered by everyone. Bought PR3s to run next.

I've been buying from Jakewilson.com for years. Best prices and arrive free shipping in 3 days max to Newer Mexico, and for some people, it's another country.

And if you get tired (see what I just did there?) of ordering from Jake, try Rocky Mountain ATV.

(It's actually the same place, just two different web sites)

Thanks for the "head's up" Shuey.

I'm going to be ordering some new tires in the next few weeks, so this was timely.

Been buying in tyres from Jakewilson for a while now.

Good service & shipping to Australia, 3 sometimes 4 days.

I just got tires at jcmotors.com It was a phone in deal to move inventory but their prices are usually competitive

Well . . . I couldn't figure out a way to edit Post #1 to add some additional sources, so:

Chaparral-racing.com 148 188 336 (800) 841-2960

ironpony.com 159 205 364 (877) 799-7669

The other recommendations may be very good. If you have one, make the call and get a quote for the same tires then post it up. It'll give us all a good comparative resource for tire purchases, and, maybe . . . save us a little time.

Used to by PR 2's from Murphs Kits BUT he stopped doing tires. Have used Jake Wilson before & they have very good prices & ZERO drama.

I like to deal with one place over & over, easy on me and IF ever a problem comes up a reminder that you are a loyal customer helps grease wheels.

OP,

According to Jake Wilson's website, he/they have "2" pr4 rear tires in stock

I bought my Michelin PR2's on Amazon.com last year. I also signed up for a month of Amazon.com Prime for FREE for free 2 day shipping. Amazon was the cheapest when you combined the tire price and the free shipping. Give them a look. I shopped around thoroughly and always compare the total price including shipping between sites.

Just received a new PR2 front from Derby Cycle. They are usually very competitive. Other good choices have already been mentioned.

I just got a set of Avon Storm 2 Ultras (nice tires--I've been through a set before) from an E-Bay vendor called RTV Tires. They only sell on E-Bay.

https://stores.ebay.com/RTV-Tires

$235 free shipping, were on my doorstep in 5 days.

My last 2 sets of Michelin's came from JakeWilson.com

Fast shipping, no problems here.

Bud,

Go to your closest R and S. Best prices on tires anywhere. They sell them at or below.cost. Whatever you do, don't let them install them at $45 per, on or.off the bike, but I have only ever ordered one set of skins cuz R and S is convenient and cheap. Also, since there's 3 of them in town, each dealer has something different.
