hey this has probably been addressed a bunch of times before but im putting a new back tire on my bike and dont have the time to do it myself. does anyone have a ballpark estimate of what the cost might be if labor is at 70 an hour so i can start saving up

here in east TN it will cost close around $200 to get a tire and have harley install it. there are some is a mc shop here that will do a rear tire for $35 with the rim on the bike and that is about the best price I have seen. most other shops will do it for about $50-$75 around here with the rim on the bike. if u take the rim off anywhere from $25-$50.

Make sure u check your rear brakes and go ahead and have some if they need changing so they can do that while the rear wheel is off. some shops will only charge u an extra $10 to install if they are doing your tire too and some will do it for free.
