Default Best buy on tires?

I am in need of a new front tire for my Electra Glide and was wondering where the best prices are and either free or cheap shipping. I have a EIII on the rear and a Metz on the front Metz is good tread wise but the sidewalls are all cracked.Ran the EIII one season and it still looks new tread wise. Thanks

that super store seems to have very good prices, does anyone know the difference in the reg metz880 and the metz880 vr, like 40 bucks more for the vr one in the same size

I just did a price check for my Dunlop E 3's for my Fatboy and Dennis Kirk is $111 vs $119 at Motorcycle Superstore. Both have free shipping.

i just bought dunlop d402 wide whites front and rear tires from motorcycle superstore "$136.99 rear" "$119.99 Front" free shipping

I did go with dynabeads this time. I bought the 4oz kit for tubed tires from Rocky Mountain. I ran it up to 110mph and it was smooth.

I just got a rear tire from these guys for $115. I think the shipping was free if I remember correctly.
