I switched over to the Metzeler ME880 Wide White Walls. I will never go back to the Dunlops, or the Maxxis'.
I would also stay away from eBay. A lot of the tires on there have been hanging or leaning somewhere for quite a while. That could leave them out of round. DennisKirk.com, or JakeWilson.com are good places. Another good bet is to try and find a local dealer that will match prices. It's always good to have a local guy to run to if you happen to have an issue.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive, well-preserved body; rather you should skid in sideways, cold pizza in one hand, beer in the other, body thoroughly trashed, totally worn out, screaming, Yeehaw.\\\\\\

Check Motorcycle Superstore ,Rocky Mountain ATV, or Jake Wilson. you will find the prices are within a couple bucks of each other. Look at Dunlop, Metzler, Shinko and Avon

I just put a set of Metz ME880 on mine and I love them! Motorcyclesuper.com and Jakewilson.com have comparable prices...right now I believe Jakewilson has them for cheaper...but I would def get Metz ME880 wide white wall.

Wow!!!  I think this might be the closest to a unanimous concensus this site has ever had. Well, of course, I didn't factor in Jona's psyche. Everybody's pretty much come to the conclusion that he belongs in a padded room, with sheep painted on the 10 foot ceiling, so that they can only taunt him.

Every Bike I have ever owned has had Dunlops.
I love their reliability and the way they handle.
Of course opinions vary......
Just one mans humble opinion.

Once the stock set was 3/4 worn out I switched to Metzler ME 880 wide white walls. Will not ever go back. I have a local dealer that is fair on price(about $15 more than Motorcycle super store)and keeps them in stock. I have gone to bringing them the wheels and they mount and balance them for $12 each. plus dispose of the old tires for me.
But for the lower cost option Shinko seem to get very high ratings also.
