Doesn't SportTour tack on a shipping charge? I know they used to.Just checked a handful of sites for Pilot Road 3:
Ironpony: 353.98
Derby Cycles: 307.98
SouthWestMotoTires: 306.84
SportTour: 295.90
I think it's obvious who I'll order from, but thought you might like the new data for your spreadsheet...
they're actually $294 for the FJR tire sizes.....not that I'm counting...PR3 $290 free shipping

PR2 $260 free shipping

I'll stick with CompAcc for now, $295ish and get about $10 back on next order....
$218 is a good price for the BT023GT's. Wish I'd seen it sooner. Just got the set from MotorcycSuperStore for $246 (free shipping as well). Still way better than the dealer though...Here's a package deal on Bridgestone BT-023GT. $218 with free shipping. Pretty good tires.

That is a great price. I am about to spoon on a set I bought about a year ago for a similar price. I'm looking forward to see how I like them (or not). Still, $165 for a set of my favorite ride and handling tire, the Conti Motion is hard to beat too.$218 is a good price for the BT023GT's.
You're going to love them Skooter...throw that POS CT in the trash now!!That is a great price. I am about to spoon on a set I bought about a year ago for a similar price. I'm looking forward to see how I like them (or not).$218 is a good price for the BT023GT's.
Wow!Caught a Cyber Monday deal from Bike Bandit back in November (not sure of the pricing now). BT 023 GT Spec for $181 shipped for the pair.
That was with the sale price and my AMA discount. I also had a freebie $10 gift card, so my actual cost was $171 shipped.Wow!Caught a Cyber Monday deal from Bike Bandit back in November (not sure of the pricing now). BT 023 GT Spec for $181 shipped for the pair.
You *******!
In the past, unfortunately, more times than not I ended up spooning the last bit of tire on to the rim. I have one of the fancy curved Motion Pro tire irons, and two of the normal straight ones.SkooterG, do you actually spoon on your tires with irons? If so, what tire irons do you use?
I just put a pair of PR's on my '06. I had planned on buying on the internet (as usual) but decided to give my local dealer a try (Lake county, FL). I called them and explained that I typically buy my tires online but wanted to give them a shot. They said they could not sell the tires (PR2's) to me for any less than $145 for the rear and $120 for the front + $25 each for mount and balance (off the bike). I decided that was good enough and confirmed they had them in stock. Saturday morning I went down with my wheels and found out they did NOT have the PR2's in stock but they would honor the price for a set of PR3's which they did have in stock! $315 mounted (+ tax) for PR3's!! Now I just hope I like the PR3's as much as I like the 2's.
Yea, I was pretty impressed with the dealer for stepping up like that.I just put a pair of PR's on my '06.

That's a rockin' deal there! I've run PR2's on my Sprint ST for a couple of seasons now, but looking for feedback on the PR3 to see if they are worth the extra $ so let me know your thoughts when you get some miles on 'em?
Thanks,
