Who's got the best deal on tires right now?

[eddie]

Anyone know of good deals on tires? I need a pair for the FJR. Are the PR2's pretty much the chosen tire for most of you?

Thanks

Check with Derbycycles.net I've gotten some great deals there.

Yeah I wasnt sure where to post it. I see people post about tire deals on the classified alot. I will give derby a look. I did search it but all the post were old. Thought someone might know of a current good deal.

Thanks

I bought from this place last year on a tip from someone here, the price was good, and the service was great even though i changed the type or rear tire at the last minute (after I placed my order)\

I paid 317 shipped for a set of front and rear PR2's, looks like they are less right now.

YMMV

Also, this time around i am going to try the cheaper C level tire since i dont often carry a passenger, the B tire is for loaded travel, something I only do 25%-40% of my mileage on. It has nothing to do with treadwear either, it's just another belt in the sidewall.

No such thing as a 'C' tire. You have either the standard PR2 rear, or the 'B' spec for two-up.

The Wheel Shop in Phoenix gives you the total price including mount & balance on the bike when you call . . .Excellent service & very fair pricing.

American Motorcycle Tire, AMT, americanmototire.com (Scottsdale) has tires on-hand and free shipping -- fair prices, too.

motorcycleusa.com has 40% off Pirelli this week. Their last newsletter also had a coupon code to enter for another 10% off, but I deleted that message. Sorry.

I was thinking about trying the Angel ST's next time...

Returning from a recent ride to B.C. I had the rear tire changed at Red Line Powercraft, a Yamaha dealer in Grande Prairie AB. and must say that they were very happy to install an in stock PR2 on the bike without an appointment. Price? $389.12

 

[squeezer]

That coupon code I mentioned a couple of posts ago is M320-PIRELLITEN. Good until 11:59 pm 10/10/10.

No affiliation, etc. Just passin' it on.

Follow this link and you will see a 'c' listed.

Most may know that Derby Cycles has two web sites, .net = Free Shipping and .com = No Free Shipping.

The derbycycles.net site has the PR2s for $343.12 with Free Shipping.

Clicky

The deberycycles.com site has the same tires for $239.98 plus shipping. The shipping to Seattle, WA is 37.98. Clicky

It's always a good idea to check both sites for the same item. You'll be pleasantly surprised when you do.

BTW, the .com site is not always going to be the lowest price. I just received a set of PR2s from the .net site (two weeks ago) and the total, shipped, was $235.89. This was a special they were running at the time. No issues at all this Derby Cycles...... Very satisfied.

Keep Going!

Just got a new set of PR2's from Motox outlet for $269 delivered.

 

[doctorJ]

www.twobrotherstires.com in Lawrenceville, GA is a good place to order. They are bike riders and have great service. Right now a set of PR2 is $260 including shipping. That isn't the B spec. I don't think for the rear as far as I know.

[Intech]

www.rockymountainatv.com $243 for a set on PR2's shipped. (non B-spec)

 

[Slappy]

Rocky Mountain didnt have any in stock 2 weeks ago. I ordered mine on Monday and had them on Wednesday. So it just depends on how bad you need them.

I have really wanted to try a set of Conti Motions. I've posted before of how I had to get a front on the road (coming back from Moonshine this yr) and it seems to be wearing pretty good - well, up until I hit that piece of something in the road on the way to NAFO.

Derby Cycles has them for 166.32 (front + rear). Shipping is coming up as $0, but I didn't "check out" so not sure on that end, but KY is not that far from Central Florida, so even if they do charge, I wouldn't think it's that much.

I sure wish someone has some history with the C-M's, but I guess I'll have to give them a try. For that price, why not? Continental is a well known name brand...
