Just ride! Platinum Boarder Posts: 2132 Re:NEW TIRE = 11000 miles 10 Months ago   Sure am glad I do my own tires. The best price I could find on that tire was $189.99 So your dealer charged you about $113.00 for mounting & balance.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #403805 Agpilot (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 774 Re:NEW TIRE = 11000 miles 10 Months ago   I do my own removal, jack it up drop the wheels off and take to my wrench and he mounts and balances for $20 a wheel....I sometimes have the tires shipped to him, and he calls me when they come in.. Last time I had some mounted and balanced at a dealer cost me $150 for the pair, and that was 10 years ago. Bought a jack for $50 best investment I have made!!   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/07/26 16:46 By Agpilot.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #403822 Lefty (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 162 Re:NEW TIRE = 11000 miles 10 Months ago   The guy I go to did mine for 55.00 each, and that is dropping the bike off to him.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #403833 bthomas (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 594 Re:NEW TIRE = 11000 miles 10 Months ago   Shop I use charges $26 each for mount, balance and stems. I pull my own wheels. If they pulled them, I'd expect to pay 1 to 1.5 hrs labor on top of that i suppose.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #403837 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!

I may be able to get high miles out of the Dunlop E3's but I dislike the traction so much I'll be removing them much sooner. I save money on tires for 3 bikes by changing them myself. The Roadstar tires are easy compared to the 200/50-17 on the back of the Warrior. There's hardly any side wall on that tire.   Logged     Roadstar Pics ......................
