    I am very ready to change the stock tires on my '07 RWB. I think I may go with Michelin Pilot Road or Conti RA's but am open to any suggestions regarding any good deals. Does anyone know of any hot deals on tires or can recommend an online retailer that has reasonable prices?

    Regards,
    Rollin

    Motorcycle Tires and Accessories I got my Conti Road attacks there. Fast shipping and it was free for orders over $200. I shopped around alot and got front 120/70/17 and rear 170/60/17 for $221.90 for the pair shipped to my door. The price for the front went up since then but only by $10. It is still the cheapest I found.

    I find the best prices (with shipping incl) have been at:

    Motorcycle Tires at Motorcycle Tire Superstore

    For the Pirelli Diablos I run (Corse, DCIII and Rosso) they are by far the cheapest. Have not shopped other brands.

    Competition is fierce amongst the big boys. Some are offering free and low cost shipping even two day for orders over $149.00. What you want to ask is if the items (tires) are in stock. Save some bucks by removing your wheels and taking them to your local guys for mounting and balancing. DIY tire removal and re-mounting new rubber can be tricky.

    ^thats how i always do it...find a good deal online, take off the wheels yourself and have a local shop mount them with a frown on their face because you didnt buy them from there...I support local places here and there, but with the big things like tires...cant pass up the deals.

    LOL! Here I sometimes think they are going to burst into tears. Of late when visiting my local dealer (45 miles away) I take a small pack of Kleenex for such occasions.
