Who has the cheapest.?
Looked at JP and HDL. So far Dennis Kirk is cheaper at $184.24 + free shipping. Seems like it was only $150 3 yrs ago. ???

Jake Wilson has usually had the best prices. Right now. $133.99 for "H" Rated (130MPH tire) $189.99 for the "V" Rated (149MPH tire) I'd be fine with the H rated... how often does anyone sustain over 130MPH http://www.jakewilson.com/p/52/-/346/1172/-/19175/Metzeler-ME880-Marathon-Front-Motorcycle-Tire |

I got some really cheap metzlers once when I got HDL to beat Jake's very cheap prices... that was last year or so, I think they meet them now, not beat them... -Mike |

Isn't the difference between an "H" and "V" ratings, speed ratings?? If so, what are the two speeds?

I guess I'll answer my own question: H vs V ratings: An "H" rated tire was safety tested for continuous speeds of 130 mph and the "V" for 149 mph!! I can't see the need for a "V" rated tire as none of the Valk's can do the 149, even though it feels like they can!!

It was already answered by PTGB $133.99 for "H" Rated (130MPH tire) $189.99 for the "V" Rated (149MPH tire) I'd be fine with the H rated... how often does anyone sustain over 130MPH |
