Cheapest place to buy tires?

I'm looking for the best place(s) to get the best prices on tires. I'm thinking about getting the pilot power 2ct's or continental road attack or sport attack or another Dunlop qualifier like I have now.

I'd like to get longer wear on the tires without sacrificing too much grip. From previous forums the 2ct's are very well liked. I've heard that the dunlops can be had really cheap though and they haven't been bad for me, but people have said they don't last as long as others.

Just bought a set of Pilot Powers for my 919 a few weeks ago at Tire Express for $269.00 shipped. Best deal I found. I didn't check ebay though.

on Sportbike Track Gear. I don't think you'll find a better price on Michelins. Good, fast service, too, and free shipping.

Re: Cheapest place to buy tires?

Don't count out your dealership without at least giving them a call for a quote. My Honda dealership offers near-cost prices on certain high-volume tires such as the Michelins, which I love (2001 CBR 929rr). They sold me a rear Pilot Power 2CT for $154 last week. They make their money on mounting them, not on the tire itself. They have really lowered their basic tire prices due to online competition.

Re: Cheapest place to buy tires?

my dealer sells them at cost (you pay mounting).

but then again, he did try to charge me 30 bucks for key blank.

Re: Cheapest place to buy tires?

sporttour.com has Pirelli Diablo Rosso's for a wicked price. $267 for front and rear! + $10/tire shipping. Awesome tire. I had BT014's before and really noticed a difference. My riding is all street or highway, and lots in the rain. The Pirelli tires feel like they're glued to the pavement. Glen was the guy who helped me out.
