Same here except Avon Cobras. I had dealt with them before and found a place $20 - $30 cheaper on the Cobras about 2 months ago and they matched it and I received in 3 - 4 days. Have had good service from them! |

You can find good deals at a lot of places. These Mega-Dealers make $10 on a tire......and they can afford to do that because of the volume of tires they buy. Kinda sounds like another store that everybody has to go to these days. That kinda puts the hurts to a local independent shop. I spent a few more bucks and had a local bike shop order and mount my tire. I made arrangements to have him mount my next darkside tire too. I got to know the guy and even tho they do 99% custom V-twin work and fabrication............they love what they do as well as riding as much as I do. So I'll continue to support local bike shops.........it makes more sense to me to know a local guy that will be around when I need something. BTW........when I took my front rim into him, he dropped what he was doing, got my tire mounted and balanced and sent me on my way.
Ride Safe !!

My rear tire, Good Year Triple Tread came from Sears.
My front tire came from an independent cycle service at home.
He does good work mounting tires for me.
He won't mount a CT however, but I have other people for that task.

I've bought the Cobra on my Tourer from Jake Wilson a couple of years ago. Couple of weeks ago I bought a Avon AM-26 Roadrider from Chaparral Motorsports for $117 shipped.
