Yes,$225 for the tire and the dealer charged $275 labor.
He was told the rear tire replacement would be around $800 total!
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
The Rune has some kind of goofy front fork that may make removal of the front wheel/tire a major pain.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; And looking at the rear end, I'm wondering if they have to pull the rear fender to get that rear wheel off,&nbsp\\;which may explain&nbsp\\;the $800 total to replace the back tire.
