Prices can fluctuate as wildly as oil prices day to day.
Motorcyclesuperstore.com
Jakewilson.com
Rockymountainatv.com
Amazon.com
cyclegear.com
Do you fit yourself? If not factor in the fitting cost to the cyclegear price. They give a discount for their tire sales.

I've always found the best prices at Jake Wilson.

I always start with Amazon. I've only beat them a couple times.
Don't forget to go to cart and figure shipping, some outfits stick it to you there, secretly.
Finally, If you don't mount your own, some outfits (dealers) bluster they have to charge more if you didn't buy the tire from them. In my neck of the woods, they're so much higher for tires, that I still come out ahead, even paying the higher mount prices, and shipping if any.

I've noticed that prices vary a lot, and seem to go down when the dollar is stronger. In recent years I've found good prices at Jake Wilson, Dennis Kirk, and Honda Direct Line.

Jake Wilson was used for the last tire I purchased. Don't forget to order the 90 degree metal valve stems too. $2 each and free shipping with your order over $99.
