need new tires

bruinsh · #1 07-01-2008, 10:29 PM

I have figured out that its gonna be expensive (which sucks cause I'm broke) but I'm trying to save as much cash as possible.&nbsp\\; I live in central NJ and was wondering if anyone has a good shop for tires that will not screw me over?? I went into a shop by me and he wanted to charge me $400 for both tires, mount/bal if I handed him the rims. God knows how much if i handed him the bike.&nbsp\\; I have seen some cheap tires online and I am leaning on the avons cause they are mid line between dunlops and metzs.&nbsp\\; I dont mind ridding a bit to save money in the long run.&nbsp\\; The best would be if someone on the forum has a tire machine...would not mind throwing some money and doing most of the work myself, as long as it gets done.&nbsp\\; Any help in the matter would be great!

Have you checked the indy's - Iron Cycle I believe is the name, in Jamesburg and Mr. Cycle in Freehold?

Check this place out, they seem to be one of the cheapest on the net.

I just bought tires from Chicigo HD for 20% off, I will take the&nbsp\\;tires and&nbsp\\;rims to my indy to mount &amp\\; balance for $50.&nbsp\\;

I bought my tires from the site that TIP mentioned. I got Metzelers at a great price and had them mounted at Freehold Honda for 54 bucks. Both of my tires came to just over 200 with shipping. I recommended them to several&nbsp\\; other guys and all had good results. Go with the Metzelers

was that the price for mounting the&nbsp\\;rims and tires off the bike or did you bring the bike in with the new tires

That was the price off the bike. i brought my new wheels and tires to them.
