[QUOTE="JimV, post: 1831, member: 87"] I just picked up a nail in my rear tire at 3000 miles. Rather than have a mismatched set and not wanting to buy any more Metzlers , I decided to just put on a pair of Avon AV45/AV46. So I called Renton Motorcycles who happens to be one of the few places open on Sunday in the Seattle area. They told me the tires would be $145 & $197, which with tax is $372 for the tires plus $70 to mount them for a grand total of $442. So, trying to be clever, I priced out tires at Southwest Moto Tires for $229.90 shipped to my door, a savings of about $142! Now I call the dealer back to setup the service and they tell me that, if I don't buy the tires there, it will be striaght labor for the work and he gave me some large amount this would cost. So, assuming that I don't want to pay a fortune for this is there a better way? Does someone know a place in the Seattle area where I could get the tires and not get robbed? I wouldn't mind taking the rear wheel off and taking the tire and the wheel somewhere to get it mounted and balanced, but I don't have a stand for the front tire, so I don't really want to mess with that myself. Thanks in advance for any sage advice. Cheers, Jim [/QUOTE]
