Default tire install price

A local non hd shop told be $300 for metz 880's installed front and back. He was recommended by another custom bike shop. Actually called the guy out by name. I'm sure he'll do a good job. The price he told me was to just bring in the bike and he'd remove tire and install news.

Does $300 include the tires, or is that just labor?

Called my local HD stealer, 139 for the front, 189 for rear plus80-85 to mount and balance. I can find them much cheaper on the net but am wondering about installation.

I got a 2005 FLHRCI. At the Slidell La. Dealership I paid $317.82 for the back tire only and it was a black wall not the white wall that came on it. It would have been more if I went with the white wall. I think I am going to invest in a tire changer.LOL
