Tire Source

I'm sure this has been discussed here before but I couldn't find it in a search...who has the best tire prices? Someplace online? What tire do you recommend for all around touring purposes? Right now I need a front tire, the rear one is good, do you recommend matching front and rear?

 

I run Metzeler Sport-Tecs front and rear. Got them at South Sound Honda (Oly, WA) for a pretty good price. Don't know if you have to match them but I always have.

 

I try to remember the Washington riders, and I think Fullcircle lives in Spokane, here is a thread that has a set of Continental Road Attacks for $220.00

Try this place, http://www.tiresunlimited.com/motorcycle_tires.htm if nothing else it's puts you in a postion to strong arm dealers to match their prices, if not a good place to buy from. I've recieved a couple pair now and then and it's always worked out good. Other place is Cycle Gear. they just had not sure if it's still in place were they had a deal buy the rear get the front free on Pirelli Diablos. which by the way I run on..

 

www.ema-usa.com has some good prices too.

 

Thread started by a Washington rider and three Washington responses within in the hour, got to love this state.


Maybe Spike is a west coaster too, but his location must be a secret :gossip: BTW where are you located Spike?

 

Thanks guys for the info. I too have been impressed with the Evergreen State response. Any other members on the east side of the state?

San Francisco Bay area

But I do travel to Washington a few times a year. Seattle area mostly, but also Olympia, and Ilwaco.

 

I just go to my Local Bike shop and give them my business. Two things work out good is your keeeping your money local and support the little guy and the next time you need bailed out or help with your bike you have a friend that doesnt mind cause he knows you do business with him. My rear tire on my 97 VFR got a nail and I told him just put a new one on it....New style Dunlop $150.00 and I was out the door .... mounted balanced. You might ask REG71 how he feels about self mounting tires :tongue:

 

Ilwaco RULES!!!



Ok, I have no idea where that is...:tongue:

 

South west corner of the state, right on the corner there by the Pacific and the Columbia river. Close to Astoria OR. Very pretty old fishing village, but very wet all the time -- at least when I am there. Also very near where Lewis an Clark stopped to rest, before turning around on their famous journey.

I beleive about an hour and a half out of Olympia.
