Jake Wilson for my '11 RGU. $309.00 delivered to my door. I removed wheels and took to dealer. They mounted and balanced for $42 bucks per tire, total $393.00 installed. I used to mount my own tires but ole arthur is tough on the joints.

American made tires American Elite Dunlops

I use Dennis kirk a lot to. However, they have old stock sometimes. If you get tires from anyone online make sure you check the build code as when it was made. A front tire will last at least 2 riding seasons for me. If it is old stock it could very well dry rot before it's time. 30,000 miles on a front tire takes a while.

I've ordered several sets from Dennis Kirk. Good prices and excellent customer service.

I got my mc2 from j&p cycles. The cheapest place i found that had them was bikebandit.com but the front tire was out of stock and i dint have time to wait. J&p was only $30 more. As for the mc2 with about 2000 miles on them so far im happy. Stick like glue in turns. Handles wet roads well. And def a smoother ride over bumps. Only complaint i have is 2 up loaded down if i hit a good bump or bridge joint it almost feels like the tire is under inflated but no issues as of yet. Just hope to get the same or more miles out of them.

I'm trying to find a Michelin Commander 2 130/90-16 "Rear" tire, Everyone of the aforementioned dealers in this thread is out of them. I ordered one from Chaparral Motorsports through Amazon last week. Even though the listing is clearly marked "REAR", they sent me a front tire today. I'm gonna play the game of trying to return the tire and get the right one, but this seller has been known to play "bait and switch". Where as they send you the wrong item, then when you contact them they say "amazon advertised the item wrong. If you want the correct item you need to pay more".

Any other place that you guys know that has this tire in stock? I'm kinda in a time crunch and having no luck. Thanks.

Just got mine from Dennis Kirk...Jake Wilson was the same price. Dennis Kirk was no shipping. I bought the Dunlap Elite 3s. You can get 18,000 out of them if you aren't a real aggressive rider. Also, use balance beads, they will run smother than any spin balanced tire and are dynamic, so they change with your speed and your tire wear characteristics. They will add miles to your tires. Way less tendency for tire cupping. Smoothest ride out there. Any I know that had tried them will never go back to standard weight balancing.

About $20 will get you the beads and install kit (they pour in through your valve stem). Use 2 ounces in each tire.
